Seventh Circuit -- Iain Walker v. Norene Walker

District Court erred in saying that the family lived in Australia, and therefore in barring ICARA/Hague return of the children to the US.

State court judgment not a final determination for purposes of the Hague Convention.

Letter between the parents referencing custody should have been barred under FRE as an offer to settle.
