Brazil and David Goldman - International Custody Issue

ADVERTISEMENTS

I have been a bit too swamped here to give anything like a close examination of the Goldman case out of Brazil, UPDATES IN MICHIGAN FAMILY LAW has done so and I suggest starting with David Goldman | Back to square one?. I was especially taken with these paragraphs>

"The United States needs to make it clear to Brazil that our government will not tolerate the wrongful retention of U.S. children by Brazil. There are at least 64 children who have been abducted to Brazil by one parent and who are wrongfully retained there. Until Brazil is convinced that its failure and refusal to return children to their habitual residence is wrong, these children may never be returned."
Economic sanctions are one way to make the point with Brazil that refusal to honor its obligations under the Hague Convention will not be tolerated. CLICK HERE to review H.R. 2702, proposed legislation that would suspend Brazil's "favored nation" status with respect to trade with the U.S. CLICK HERE to contact your state legislators and ask them to co-sponsor and support this legislation. Help www.bringseanhome.org by supporting this proposed legislation.

For a more general background on international custody issues, see my News: Non-compliant Hague Countries Report.
