Ex recently filed a C100 (and C1a - what an irony) and ticked the box that there WASN'T an international element to the case. BUT he has been living overseas for the last year. This is in a non-Hague agreement country, so I am concerned about abduction as he's indicated that he wants to bring the kids there.
Question is, does the fact that he's ticked the wrong box make a difference to the way the courts file the paperwork, and what level of judge gets allocated the case? I only ask as I'm a LIP and Support Through Court were surprised that the proceedings have been allocated to magistrates, as it was their impression that anything with an international element has to be allocated to a judge with international experience. Or does it have a bearing in any other way? Thanks
