If a child has been released from custody and returned to their original parent, is there any reason for objection?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from J.S. v. R.M., 2012 ABPC 184 (CanLII):
If the child objects to the return because the child has become "settled" in their new life with the parent that has kidnapped or wrongfully retained them, then that will not be considered an acceptable reason for objection and the return will be ordered: Den Ouden v. Laframboise, 2006 ABCA 403.
