Practice question
A child has been placed abroad for two months. The applicant demands the final decree immediately solely because early adjustment appears good. No special lawful exception is established. What is the relevant 14 rule?
- The stated decree follows lapse of the six-month trial-custody period, with progress considered.
- Good early adjustment necessarily deletes the statutory period.
- The applicant can privately issue the decree.
- Every child must immediately return regardless of adjustment.
- The period starts only when the child becomes an adult.
