It is good when adults are able to negotiate. However, emotional stress, resentment, and unwillingness to communicate often push to drastic action&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;to take a child and go to another country&nbsp;(usually it is the home country).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A vivid example is a case when a Belarusian wife returns with her children to Belarus. As a rule, a foreign father contacts our Ministry of Justice, informing us about the abduction.&nbsp;<em>(Editor\u2019s Comment: Elena Zhdanovich is already making a mistake.

The man refused to register the marriage. They lived together for more than 10 years. They had two daughters. The woman adopted in a foreign country learned its language and got a job in a private clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>When the children started to grow up,&nbsp;<strong>the father began to make claims to the mother concerning the children:&nbsp;<\/strong>for example, that she did not take her daughters (2 and 5 years old) to gay parades, raised her voice at the children when they didn\u2019t obey, etc.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The father did not like that the children\u2019s mother went to the Orthodox church on weekends and blessed the children when they left the house. Such actions are regarded there as religious fanaticism. The father complained to psychologists and to social services protecting the rights of the children. All of the \u201cviolations\u201d of the mother mentioned above were potential grounds for taking her children away from her.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Understanding these prospects, during her next visit to Minsk,&nbsp;the woman decided not to return to the country of the permanent residence of the father.<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He filed a statement to the local police, court, as well as to the Belarusian court containing claims for the return of the children to the country of their permanent residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>What is the court guided by?<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>As a rule, such disputes are considered under&nbsp;the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, which has been ratified by the Belarusian party.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The court investigates whether the child was abducted and carefully examines&nbsp;(Editor\u2019s&nbsp;Comment: Yelena Zhdanovich possesses humor)&nbsp;all the circumstances of the family\u2019s life, the departure from the country, and living conditions in Belarus.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>In the example above, the court ruled that the children would remain with their mother in Belarus.&nbsp;<strong>An important argument for protecting the mother and her interests was that the children are citizens of the Republic of Belarus, have permanent registration in their mother\u2019s apartment in Minsk, and are socially adapted to living in Belarus&nbsp;(<\/strong><strong>Editor\u2019s comment: with this statement, Yelena Zhdanovich proves once again her incompetence and that she is not versed at all regarding The Hague Convention!<\/strong><strong>).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>No compromise<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>In general, decisions in such disputes cannot suit both sides.
