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.
