Court appointed a guardian ad litem
for minor child who submitted a report to the Court and testified briefly. There was insufficient evidence that Mexico ever became A.M.'s habitual residence.
Therefore, the retention of A.M. in Illinois in August 2014 was not a wrongful
retention within the meaning of Article 3 of the Hague Convention and without a
wrongful retention, this Court has no authority to order the child to be
returned to Mexico.
In our International Child Abduction Blog we report Hague Convention Child Abduction Cases decided by the US Supreme Court, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, Circuit Courts of Appeals, district courts and New York State Courts. We also provide information to help legal practitioners understand the basic issues, discover what questions to ask and learn where to look for more information when there is a child abduction that crosses country boarders.
