Dad in Japan Custody Battle

This story is about a dad named Christopher Savoie, he is sitting in a Japanese jail. He and his former wife, Noriko Savoie divorced the beginning of this year. She had gotten custody of their two children and had told the courts that she would not flee to Japan with the kids. Christopher had taken her back to court in February after Noriko and sent a threatening e-mail to him that she would return to Japan with their children. Noriko repeated told the courts that she would return with the children after their vacation.

Noriko did return to the U.S. after vacation, then returned to Japan. Christopher, was then awarded sole custody of the kids. But, the problem was with the Japanese government. Noriko is seen by the Japanese government as the primary parent. They also do not recognize the court order from the U.S. Christopher went to Japan took the children and was feet away from the border when he was arrested. He is sitting for 10 days in a Japanese jail. While he waits to see what will happen.

When I read this story I was outraged is she had strict orders to return to the U.S. and did they should of blocked the kids passports. So that she would not be able to leave the country with them. That was dumb on the part of our government. This seems to be a major problem for this father.

I feel that they should try and get the mother extradited back from Japan and make her face the music. Who is she to decide where she lives with their children. There was a court order that she stay in the U.S with the children. She is in contempt, and she be held accountable. I hope that this father gets his children back and that she can only she them with supervision. That is what she deserves.
