Father’s Heartfelt Decision: Allowing Daughter to Stay in the U.S. for Ballet School After Hague Petition

Denmark-Gourvitz & Gourvitz LLC was retained by a Petitioner initially seeking return of his fourteen year old child to Denmark. The Child came to the United States with limited permission but failed to return with the mother wrongfully retainer her in the United States. During the Course of negotiations and discussions with Counsel, it was revealed that Petitioner had a strained relationship with the child because of her own desire to remain in the United States to attend Ballet School. She was extraordinarily gifted and the Father made the bold and difficult decision to allow his daughter to remain the United States to pursue her dream while solidifying an international parenting time schedule. The matter was ultimately dismissed after entry of an international parenting schedule in Denmark with registration pending in New York.
