Pakistan is not yet a contracting state to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.

Act without delay. Contact us immediately via WhatsApp at +92 333 4848228. Time is critical in international child abduction cases.

Early legal intervention significantly improves the prospects of a successful outcome.
