Just got the attorney fee order in the case of Hoie v. Lee. The Respondent (mom) owes my client just shy of $100,000 in fees and expenses for her shenanigans in abducting their daughter from Norway.

In the order, Chief Judge Tydingco-Gatewood noted that this was the first (and only) case that has ever been filed in Guam under The Hague Convention and the International Child Abduction Remedies Act. She noted that no attorney in the Guam Bar had ever handled, much less taken to trial, a Hague case, thereby necessitating off-island counsel (me).

Got the order on June 30 Florida time, while it’s dated July 1 (Guam time). 😊

Two really cool things I learned during my Hague trial in Guam:

1. In Norway, you are required to take a minimum of 21 days vacation. If you do not actually use the minimum 21 days of vacation time, you can be fined and face other consequences.

2. Even in federal court, Island Shirt Day is enforced on Fridays in Guam. This picture is of me and my local counsel (Daron Berman) last Friday. The shirt you see Daron wearing is the shirt he wore in Court that day. 😂

I think we need to adopt both of these customs.

Justice was swift, immediate. In the United States of America, our federal courts are designed to uniformly enforce the rule of law, even when doing so requires four Deputy US Marshals to es**rt a litigant and his 7 year-old daughter, to ensure that a federal court order is carried out, executed, and enforced. In the United States, there is no refuge for the lawless.

On Monday morning, a civil trial began in the District Court of Guam, which revolves around a 7-year-old girl's parents' disagreement on whether their child, a resident of Norway, should

Early tomorrow morning, I head to Guam one final time— this time for a federal trial. We found her. Now we are seeking to return this young girl to her home country of Norway.
