U.S. Supreme Court To Review A Hague Convention Case. On June 10, 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari in the case of Monasky v. Taglieri to consider two questions involving determinations of "habitual residence" under the Hague Child Abduction Convention. The court identified the two issues that will be examined in the case as:
(1) Whether a district court's determination of habitual residence under the Hague Convention should be reviewed de novo (as 7 circuits have held), under a deferential version of de novo review (as the 1st Circuit has held), or under clear-error review (as the 4th and 6th Circuits have held); and
(2) Whether, when an infant is too young to acclimate to her surroundings, a subjective agreement between the infant's parents is necessary to establish her habitual residence under the Hague Convention.
