(Case C-512/17) (*1)
Language of the case: Polish
Referring court
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: HR
with the participation of: KO and Prokuratura Rejonowa Poznań Stare Miasto w Poznaniu
Operative part of the judgment
Article 8(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 of 27 November 2003 concerning jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in matrimonial matters and the matters of parental responsibility, repealing Regulation (EC) No 1347/2000, must be interpreted as meaning that a child’s place of habitual residence for the purpose of that regulation is the place which, in practice, is the centre of that child’s life. It is for the national court to determine, on the basis of a consistent body of evidence, where that centre was located at the time the application concerning parental responsibility over the child was submitted. In that regard, in a case such as that in the main proceedings, having regard to the facts established by that court, the following, taken together, are decisive factors:
the fact that, from its birth until its parents’ separation, the child generally lived with those parents in a specific place;
the fact that the parent who, in practice, has had custody of the child since the couple’s separation continues to stay in that place with the child on a daily basis and is employed there under an employment contract of indefinite duration; and
the fact that the child has regular contact there with its other parent, who is still resident in that place.
By contrast, in a case such as that in the main proceedings, the following cannot be regarded as decisive:
the stays which the parent who, in practice, has custody of the child has spent in the past with that child in the territory of that parent’s Member State of origin in the context of leave periods or holidays;
the origins of the parent in question, the cultural ties which the child has with that Member State as a result, and the parent’s relationships with family residing in that Member State; and
any intention the parent has of settling in that Member State with the child in the future.
