 2004 Report to Congress on International Child Abductions
Rather, the basic obligation under the Convention to return a child arises if a child is removed to or retained in a country party to the Convention in violation of rights of custody existing and actually exercised in (and under the law of) the child’s country of habitual residence.
Most Convention cases filed by parents seeking the return of a child to the United States are premised on the existence of rights of custody held by the applicant parent that arise by operation of law, typically because the applicable state law creates joint rights of custody in both parents.
In the context of a return application, the Convention specifically limits consideration of custody matters to the question of whether the applying parent was actually exercising rights of custody (under the applicable law in the child’s country of habitual residence) at the time the child was wrongfully removed to or retained in another country.
