QUESTION
Will Japan extradite a USA citizen to Mongolia?
Asked on Apr 06th, 2016 on Family Law - Ohio
More details to this question:
Due to extreme danger posed by my wife and in-laws to my daughter and the fact that we live in Mongolia, I am considering fleeing the country and moving to Japan. As this would almost definitely result in a criminal case in Mongolia, I need to know if Japan would extradite an American citizen to Mongolia if the government requests.

You leave much unsaid, in particular, whether you are still married and whether there are current child custody orders in place. If there are custody orders in place awarding joint or sole physical custody to the mother of your child and you have taken or kept the child out of the United States to avoid complyig with the Orders, you are essentially asking for advice from American attorneys on how best to continue violating an American state court order. Does that seem about right? If so, do you really expect legal help in continuing to violate a court order?
