Family Law

Na N asked:


Do you think that Japan has a good family law policy? Parental kidnapping taking a child in Japan is never a crime under Japanese law even if the Japanese parent is wanted in the USA for taking there US born children back to Japan (parental kidnapping under US law). But it is a crime under Japanese law for the American parent to take the same child out of Japan or see that child again with out consent of the Japanese parent even if the Japanese parent is on interpol’s most wanted for parental kidnapping in the USA.

Dylansmom asked:


My husband and I live in FL. and we gained custody of my husband’s 3 children from a previous marriage, due to the mother putting them around a man who was a potential danger to them. They have lived with us for well over a year now and my husband and I have a child together as well. My husband is in the military and he recently received orders for us to move to Japan. The mother can take us back to court now and try to regain custody of the children due to them move. The mother lives in GA. and only has visitation with them, my husband has full custody. Will the courts split up my family? They have lived with their half brother since he was 3 months old. Does this play a factor in the judge’s decision for maybe not changing custody again back to her? Please do not respond, go to the JAG office on the base. The JAG office mainly just gives out information on Wills, etc. and we have been down that road already. Please help.
