Representative Matters
Pro bono representation of a survivor of intimate partner violence against her former partner seeking to compel the client to return their two children to a foreign country under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and the International Child Abduction Remedies Act (ICARA). The court denied the petition for the return of the two minor children and found the petitioner failed to establish the client wrongfully removed the children in breach of right of custody the petitioner held under Norwegian law. The court concluded the petitioner lacked rights of custody over the younger child at the time of her removal, thus failing to establish a prima facie case for her return. Although the petitioner established a prima facie case for the older child’s return, the court determine that separating the siblings would pose a grave risk of psychological harm to both children. The case is currently on appeal in the Seventh Circuit.
