Abstract

The Supreme Court of the United States and United States Courts of Appeal have published important Convention cases since the onset of the pandemic. The authors explain how the US now has settled law on the test for habitual residence. There is developing and helpful law on the concept of undertakings. The voice of the child under the mature child exception is still in development, and there is no consensus on how a child’s voice should be heard, or if the child should be heard at all. There is still no nationwide test for grave risk.
