Divorce in Luxembourg: What are your rights?

Questioner

We have been living in Luxembourg for 2 years. I would like to divorce my husband but he threatens that I will never be able to see my daughter again. I would like to return to the Netherlands with my daughter, she also wants to return. Now my question is, can I take her to the Netherlands without his permission to live there again? We are Dutch by nationality

Lawyer

Dear Madam, It is certainly possible that the Court will decide that your daughter will live with you. How old is your daughter? I am happy to help you and can assist you. If you wish, you can contact me directly. Do you have any questions? Please feel free to ask. Yours sincerely,

Lawyer

No this is international child abduction once you are divorced or planning to divorce. your current husband can make a problem of this. Whether your daughter will be given to you after a ruling depends on many factors, but at European level, it is advised to let the child live with the parent who remains in his social environment, especially if he already goes to school, plays sports and has friends etc.
