Matter of the Marriage of Ross

1 Citing case

  1. In re Marriage of Hatzievgenakis

    434 N.W.2d 914 (Iowa Ct. App. 1988)   Cited 13 times
    Holding the district court's denial of a continuance was not an abuse of discretion where the party—who was employed as a ship captain and could jeopardize his employment by leaving the ship during his tour of service—failed to request a continuance until eleven days before a trial that had been scheduled for at least four months

    In Oregon the court did not prohibit visitation where the mother had a fear but no facts indicating the children would not be returned. See In re Marriage of Ross, 45 Or. App. 565, 608 P.2d 1214 (1980). There is nothing in this record and Susan has presented no evidence other than her fears to support her position. Vassilis has appeared and consented to the jurisdiction of the Iowa courts on all issues. There is no evidence he has thwarted Susan's custody in any way. He has the right to assume we will offer him the same justice we offer Susan. While she expresses fears the child will not be allowed to leave Greece, she asks our courts to prevent the child from leaving the United States.
