My ex-husband who abducted our son, to Germany, (where he lives), claims that our 11-year-old son should not be returned to me, because the regime here is corrupted. I have filed Hague convention proceedings against him. Will the Family Court consider such a claim?

Probably not. Claiming that the legal system in the Country of habitual residence of the abducted minor child, is corrupted, has not been recognized yet as a “Grave Risk” defense claim under the Hague Convention, justifying not returning the minor to his country of origin by the abducting parent (see Case # 19298-08-23).
