First of all, l deeply sympathize with your situation, having your children forcibly removed or hidden from you. This is a trauma that no parent should do to the other parent or subject their children to, and it is to be condemned. Would you like to share more of your story with us, Travis? What is the situation now with your most recent child? I understand that your wife is Japanese, but what happened? Were you having some marital troubles, and she decided to just take the kid(s)? Or was this a sudden thing, unprovoked by anything you are aware of? Where are you now, Travis - in Japan, or outside of Japan? Have you been to family court regarding this child or your previous child that was kidnapped from you? There is some truth in the fact that possession of the child is the key, but there is more than that. You said your current wife is in hiding with your child. But she has filed for divorce, is that correct? Is that in Japan, or outside of Japan? Do you have any clues as to her whereabouts? If she has sued for divorce, she would have had to enter her address on the application. So that should provide some clues. Do you have a lawyer, or anybody who is assisting you in this matter? - JC lostmyson (1 posts) 2/7/2005 2:47:58 PM re: is getting posession the KEY...   profile There are things you can do to delay the divorce, like file an anti-divorce form. But in Japan, yes, it is basically whoever grabs the child and runs first gets custody. You just delay in court for several years and establish a status quo that eventually approved, because, well, its now the status quo. And in any case, the court cannot actually force you to give the child back, even if they grant custody to the other parent. While married you still have joint custody and if there is no violence, the police wont interfere with back and forth child kidnapping. DIsgusting isnt it. More info at www.crnjapan.com About your child born in the US. There are US laws you can still use to eventually get an arrest warrant out for your ex-wife.

FRIJ recommends you also visit crn japan, who are fighting international abduction to Japan and working to assure children in Japan of meaningful contact with both parents regardless of marital status
