Hey, the violence in Iraq is interrupting my scheduled visitation:

In re Marriage of Saheb, No. 1-06-3304 (November 13, 2007) 1st div. (R. GORDON) Affirmed Trial court did not abuse its discretion when it, as part of joint parenting order awarding residential custody to the father, allowed the mother to exercise her visitation in the UAE despite it not being a signatory to the Hague Convention; because a) the father was able to obtain relief in the UAW when he petitioned to bar the mother from traveling with the parties' daughter to Iraq, b) the mother was required to post a bond, and c) the father was allowed to hold the child's visa, and the court found that visitation in the mother's home country was in the child's best interests. In addition, the father waived his objection to the GAL's oral report by failing to object to it; and the trial court was not obligated to follow all of the recommendations of the 604(b) evaluator.
