How courts have described this case

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

• explaining that a parent’s joint authority over a child’s relocation constitutes “significant decision-making authority over the child’s care[,]” (alteration added)
• finding that a custody agreement between the parents providing joint parental responsibility, under Norwegian law and coupled with a ne exeat right, gave the father custody rights under the Hague Convention
• tolling the limitation period four to six months due to respondent’s concealment of the child and petitioner’s extensive efforts to locate them
• calculating the one year filing period from the date the child’s location was confirmed when the respondent concealed the child's location
• finding concealment where petitioner did not at first know whether his child was in Norway or the United States
• affirming the district court’s conclusion that the petitioner’s efforts to obtain legal assistance “are completely inconsistent with any claim of acquiescence in the child being detained permanently in the United States”
