         the purpose of immediate return of the child  to the U.S.A, has
         been so ordered.

         2.)   The opposing applicant or any other person, where the child

         3.)   In order to prevail to carry out the judgment to

         of the local bailiff, who is authorized to ask for assistance
         from the police.  The officials executing this assignment are
         empowered to use force if necessary in order to achive
         compliance.

         -  FACTS:

         The American father and the German mother had married and lived
         in the United States where their daughter had been born in
         October 1993, until the mother left with the child for Germany in
         May 1995.

         The mother left for Germany while the father was at work on the
         16th May 1995.

         The mother refused to return to her husband and was unwilling to
         turn the girl over to her father for return to the United States.

         -  HOLDING:

         After a hearing with the mother it was determined that the mother
         had first taken the child on the 15th-17th of May 1995, from the
         United States to Bremerhaven, Germany. The reciept of the
         application of the father for an order to return the child dated
         March 6th, 1996 shows that the child had not yet resided in the
         Federal Republic for (1) year, which, consequently in this case
         necessitated for the mother to show that the return of the child
         would precipitate grave  physiological or psycholgical harm to
         the child, or that the child would be put into abhorrent
         circumstsnces.

         The mother was not able to prove this. It is however clear to the
         Court, that the return of the  child will bring about a certain
         amount of fright and burden for the child, especially since a
         parting from the mother has to be taken into account.

         However, according to the decree issued on Feb 15th 1996, (Fam PZ
         1996 S. 405/406) by the Federal Court, only extraordinary, grave
         circumstances regarding the well-being of the child may be a
         reason for overcoming the order to relinquish. Such
         extraordinary, grave imediments or circumstances have not been
         brought foreward by the mother, therefore the application of the
         father stands.
