Courts hearing Hague Convention cases can take steps to protect a child before deciding the case. A court cannot remove a child from their current caregiver unless state law allows it.

(a) Authority of courts. To support Convention Article 7(b) and other Convention goals, and subject to subsection (b), a court hearing a section 9003(b) case can take steps under federal or state law to protect the child, or to stop the child from being moved or hidden again before the case ends. (b) Limitation on authority. A court cannot use subsection (a) to order a child removed from whoever currently has physical control of the child, unless the requirements of state law are met.
