Definition Grave Risk of Harm - a legal defense against litigation demanding the return of a minor child to his or her habitual residence.

Application in Divorce This defense can be used under the Hague Convention when the return of the child would expose him or her to physical and psychological harm or an intolerable situation. The evidence must be clear and convincing, and the standard is not the same as the best interest of the child.
