In the case of Robert v. Tesson, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, held that, in applying the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abuduction, the children's "habitual residence" was the United States instead of France when the mother removed them, as six-year-olds, from France for the last time. The children stayed for 15 months in France, but had lived in the United States with their mother before going to France. They had little contact with their father who lived in France.
