The child acquired habitual residence in the USA prior to 2 June 2025; the removal by the mother to the Philippines was wrongful; the mother failed to prove acquiescence by the father and failed to discharge the high burden to show a grave risk of psychological harm or an intolerable situation on return; accordingly a return order (nisi) was made for immediate return to Florida, USA.
