Child Custody - Find My Parent

Blondin v. Dubois, 189 F.3d 240 (2d Cir. 1999)

Appeal allowed and case remitted to the District Court to consider remedies that might allow both the return of the children to their habitual residence and their protection from harm pending a custody hearing in France.

Gonzalez v. Gutierrez, 311 F.3d 942 (9th Cir 2002)

Appeal allowed and application dismissed; a right of veto over the removal of a child from the jurisdiction did not afford a non-custodial parent a “right of custody” for the purposes of the Convention.

Currier v. Currier, 845 F. Supp. 916 (D.N.H. 1994)

Return ordered; the standard required under Articles 13(1)(a) and 13(1)(b) had not been met.

Brooke v. Willis, 907 F. Supp. 57 (S.D.N.Y. 1995)

Writ of habeas corpus issued ordering the mother to produce the child in court within fourteen days and show cause why the child was removed.

Lops v. Lops, 140 F.3d 927 (11th Cir. 1998)
