OBA Family Law and Child & Youth Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: December 7, 2022

How does Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in F. v. N.  impact cases involving the removal of children from or to a jurisdiction that has not signed onto the Hague Convention?

Join our experienced faculty as they discuss the following vital topics:

• Legal framework and case law on determining Ontario’s jurisdiction to make parenting orders or contact orders
• What evidence to put before the judge when making or responding to claims of habitual residence, wrongful removal or retention, serious harm and the best interests of the children; and
• Practical information on enforcing Ontario orders abroad, how to advise a client whose children have been removed to a non-Hague jurisdiction and other practical information and resources to consider.  

Don’t miss this timely program and ensure that you have the most up to date information for your legal toolkit.
