How courts have described this case

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

• noting that the father “did not pursue permanent resident status for his family in Singapore
• noting lack of purchase of a home in Singapore as supporting a finding that the parents did not intent to abandon the United States
• explaining that simply finding “that the parents agreed that the children would be present in a particular place for a particular period of time that had yet to elapse” is not the same as finding a shared intent to abandon a prior habitual residence for a new one
• parties’ intent to reside in Singapore for a temporary period of three years weighed in favor of finding a lack of abandonment of the prior residency
• “In the event the parents disagree as to their children’s place of habitual residence, we look to the intent of the parents at the latest time that their intent was shared.” (internal citation and quotation marks omitted)
