How to change my local custody to International custody or obtain an International custody?

Is there anyway to change my local custody decree to International custody or obtain international custody? Is it in Switzerland?How to change my local custody to International custody or obtain an International custody?There is no such thing as %26quot;International custody%26quot;. Under the Hague convention, the courts in contracting states are bound to accept the custody rulings of courts in other contracting states. The convention sets out guidelines for determining which country has jurisdiction.



As I said in my other answer, the convention does not apply to you.



BUT.... that may not really matter. That your current country was not a contracting State when the removal occurred means that the courts in Turkey are not *required* to recognize the custody order that your husband violated. It does NOT mean that they won't choose to recognize it anyway, or, if they choose not to, that they won't award you custody anyway.
