Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • noting that “in the absence of settled parental intent, courts should be slow to infer from such contacts [in the new country] that an earlier habitual residence has been abandoned” (internal citation and quotation marks omitted)
  • affirming district court finding that parents did not have a shared intent to change habitual residence because “the family’s move to Greece was ‘conditional’”
  • finding no acclimatization where children’s life in Greece was in a “permanent state of flux” including three different homes in four months
  • affirming district court's finding that parents did not have a shared intent to change habitual residence from the United States to Greece because \the family's move to Greece was 'conditional' \
  • distinguishing its facts from Feder and concluding that a family’s failure to purchase or seek out a permanent home in Greece supported finding that the parents did not share an intent to abandon the United States as the children’s habitual residence
