Successful Child Custody Case Featured In The News

"Kevin, We just wanted to say 'thank you' for helping my daughter (age 6) to stay with us and stopping my ex-wife from stealing away to Japan with her. She is perfectly integrated into our combined family and is pictured here at our wedding ceremony. We are all very happy now thanks to yow· efforts." Mike

Final chapter in the custody case for Mike. Mike sent Mr. Kelly an email about a year after Mr. Kelly helped him get custody of his daughter and stop his Japanese ex-wife from taking his daughter back to Japan with her. If that had happened, Mike’s daughter probably would have been forever lost to Mike. Japanese law strongly favors its own citizens in custody cases. In addition, Japan does not honor an important international treaty that allows a custodial parent to recover a child kidnapped to another country by the child's other parent. Mr. Kelly was instrumental in preventing any of this from happening by, among other strategies, forcing the Japanese ex-wife to forfeit the daughter's American and Japanese passports to Mr. Kelly.

In his email entitled “thank you Kevin," Mike wrote "one year after our case was resolved and the kids are all doing great. We have not heard from Aileigh's mother since she left the country to return to Japan. I wanted to attach this news story. Not sure if you have been following the case of
Christopher Savoie, but this could very easily have been me without yow· help." - Mike & kids

Here is the link to the MSNBC article sent by Mike describing the plight of Chistoper Savoie. Mr. Savoie is an American father, who was awarded legal custody of his two young children. He was being held in a Japanese jail after unsuccessfully trying to recover his children from his Japanese ex-wife who had illegally taken the children to Japan with her. Eventually, Mr. Savoie was released from the Japanese jail and not charged with any crime. However, as of March 2011, his Japanese ex-wife continues to illegally hold his children in Japan. It has now been nearly two years since she first took the children.
