SCOTUS: Hague Convention case not mooted by order to return child

The Supreme Court held today in Chafin v. Chafin, that a case brought under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is not rendered moot in the United States by a District Court's order for return of the child to another country (in this case, Scotland). In a unanimous opinion, Chief Justice Roberts noted that the parties continue to contest issues related to residence of the child and related issues.
