Visitation: Authorization to obtain a child’s passport: Best interest of the child.
CSA No. 0664, September Term, 2012. Unreported. Opinion by Eyler, D., J. Filed March 8, 2013. 15 pages. Appeal from Baltimore City Circuit Court. Reversed.
The trial court should have granted the mother’s motion for authorization to obtain her child’s passport and to travel with the child to Mexico to visit with her family, as the court’s conclusion that she would not return to the United States rested on at least one clearly erroneous finding of fact and was not otherwise supported by the evidence.
