A hearing is scheduled Monday in federal court in Des Moines in a child custody case involving a Swedish man who claims his ex-wife illegally moved with their daughter to Iowa.
A judge has ordered Raina Anderung to appear with her 3-year-old daughter Monday morning. Anderung must hand over the girl's passport and she cannot remove the child from the Southern District of Iowa or she'll be arrested.
A complaint filed February 14th alleges Anderung, who lives in Pleasantville, traveled to Iowa last May for a 90-day visit and refuses to return to Sweden.
The girl's father, Magnus Anderung, claims she is violating a 1980 international agreement known as the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. She claims they agreed on the move.
