Search & Find and Disclosure Orders.
You can apply for a "Search and Find Order"
to bring the children home. The court can
order a police officer or court official to
enter and search premises where a child
might be found and use such force as is
necessary to get them back.
If you think that someone else knows where
your child is you can apply for an order
that they give the information to the court.
The court can enlist the help of the police
to try and trace the children. This could
involve a search of airports and seaports to
ensure the children are not taken out of the
country. |
