If you believe there is a real risk that your child could be taken out of Spain without your consent, acting early is essential.

Spanish law provides preventative measures that may help protect a child before an abduction takes place. Depending on the circumstances, these can include travel restrictions, passport controls and court approval before changes of residence are made.

It is also important to keep relevant documents and evidence together, and to make sure schools, carers and other responsible professionals are aware of any restrictions in place.

Every situation is different, and the appropriate steps will depend on the level of risk and the facts of the case.

If you are concerned about possible parental child abduction, contact our Family Law team as soon as possible for clear, practical advice.

A Power of Attorney can be a practical way to allow someone you trust to act on your behalf in Spain, but the scope of that authority should always be clearly defined.

It can be used for matters such as property transactions, inheritances, banking or specific legal procedures, and it may be drafted broadly or limited to a particular purpose.

Just as importantly, a Power of Attorney is not unlimited. The person you appoint can only act within the powers you have granted, and in many cases the authority can later be revoked.

Need a Power of Attorney in Spain? Contact our legal team for clear advice on the right structure for your circumstances.

AI can be useful for research, ideas and everyday tasks. But when it comes to legal matters, a confident answer is not always a correct one.

A recent case reported by El Español describes how a woman allegedly dismissed her lawyer and used ChatGPT to prepare court documents. According to the lawsuit, she submitted at least 44 filings, some citing legal precedents that did not exist, leading to approximately $300,000 in legal costs for the opposing party. OpenAI disputes the allegations and the matter remains before the courts.

The lesson is clear: AI can support your work but it cannot replace the judgement, accountability and experience of a qualified legal professional.
