THE ALLOCATION OF CUSTODIAL AND DECISIONMAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR CHILDREN TOPIC 2. PARENTING PLAN § 2.09 Allocation of Significant Decisionmaking Responsibility C.A.9, 2021. Rptr's Note quot. in sup. Representative of a class of unaccompanied noncitizen minors, who had obtained a settlement enjoining the Department of Homeland Security from detaining such minors in hotels for more than three days in the process of expelling them from the United States, filed a motion to enforce the settlement with regard to minors held pursuant to an order issued by the Surgeon General to prevent the spread of a pandemic disease. After the district court granted the motion, this court affirmed, holding that the district court did not err in concluding that the minors were in the Department's custody for purposes of the settlement. The court reasoned that, under the Principles of the Law of Family Dissolution § 2.09, legal custody of a child meant the right to participate in important decisions affecting the child, and that the Department clearly exercised decision-making authority over the minors it held in hotels under the order.
