Asked on Mar 02nd, 2013 on Child Custody - New Jersey
More details to this question:
Not officially divorced, we both live in South Korea. My husband is threatening to move back to America with our daughter if I don't meet certain terms for our separation (they involve my personal life, nothing to do with my daughter). If he moves, do I have any legal recourse? I have assumed it's considered kidnapping, but I want to know what a lawyer says so I can stop his threats.
Dear Joy,
I have more than 30 years of legal experience and head SALVAGGIO LAW GROUP LLC, a law firm which devotes its entire practice to New Jersey Divorce and Family Law matters.
Your recourse would be to retain a very experienced New Jersey Family Law Attorney to help try to get your daughter back.
If this happens, contact me right away. I would have to check the treaties between the USA and South Korea, which would have a practical effect on how difficult the process would be.
I hope that you do not need to contact me, but please don't hesitate to do so, if the need arises.
