Her abusive ex-husband kept a gun, he sent death threats to her and he used every possible tool to literally keep her in her place with their children, including the Hague Convention's Child Abduction Section. She died a tragic death on the 29th of January when her body was found in a house fire, and her ex-husband is currently under arrest on suspicion of premeditated murder. In this special episode of Zsófilter I talk to Stasya, a close friend of M's and Noá Nógrádi, a women's rights expert to discuss the events and circumstances that led to M's death and the failures of the Hungarian as well as the international authorities to keep her safe.Information in English for victims of domestic & sexual violence in Hungary:https://nane.hu/for-victims/find-help/?lang=enRisk assessment and safety planning information: https://training.improdova.eu/en/training-modules-for-the-police/module-5-risk-assessment-and-safety-planning/Támogasd te is a Partizán munkáját!https://cause.lundadonate.org/partizan/supportPéntek Reggel, a Partizán hírháttérpodcastja:https://pentekreggel.huA Partizán Podcast oldalait itt találod:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PartizanPodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/partizanpodcast/A Partizán videóit itt tudod megnézni:https://www.youtube.com/c/@PartizanmediaTovábbi támogatási lehetőségekről bővebben:https://www.partizanmedia.hu/tamogatas

What happens when a mother flees with her child, only to be accused of kidnapping? Is she a criminal—or a desperate parent fighting for freedom? In this gripping episode, New York Times bestselling author James Grippando joins us to discuss his latest legal thriller, Grave Danger. Inspired by real-world custody battles and international law, the novel explores a shocking case where justice, human rights, and family collide.

In this important conversation, Anne Marie and Sarah delve into the legal system's response to domestic violence.

It is the “most wonderful time of the year,” and Behind the Lines is focusing on giving back. Section 6 of the Preamble to the Texas Rules of Disciplinary Conduct reminds us that “the provision of free legal services to those unable to pay reasonable fees is the moral obligation of each lawyer as well as the profession generally.” This episode focuses on some of the ways Houston lawyers have been taking that obligation seriously and giving back to people in the Houston area who need legal help. Segment One - Hon. David Hittner: "I Wouldn't Trade That One Trial"Hon. David Hittner, Senior U.S. District Court Judge, discusses a criminal pro bono case he had as a young lawyer, including how he went about preparing for a criminal case as a civil lawyer. He also addresses how this pro bono case played a role in his confirmation hearing when he was appointed to the federal bench. The file for the case, Texas vs. Lockett, was recently formally dedicated for public exhibition at the Historic Documents Room at the Harris County Courthouse. Segment Two - Maryam Ghaffar: "My Client Felt So Validated"Maryam Ghaffar, an associate at Beck Redden and the HYLA Pro Bono and Service Committee Chair, discusses a recent Hague Convention case in which she represented the mother of a two-year-old child whose father wanted the court to order that the child's habitual residence was in Ecuador, not the United States. Maryam was appointed to this pro bono case by the Court, and it was a very fast-paced case. Segment Three - Holiday Wellness Break: Finding the Joy(BTL Interviewer Rinku Ray)Melanie Bragg of Bragg Law PC, who is also the co-chair of HBA's Wellness Committee, author of "Defining Moments: Insights Into the Lawyer's Soul" and other books, and cheerful volunteer, leads listeners through a wellness exercise designed to help find joy and reduce stress during the holiday season. Segment Four - Amy Farish: "There's Always Support"Amy Farish, a partner at Yetter Coleman who is also the firm's pro bono coordinator, discusses a lengthy immigration case she and her team handled and  encourages lawyers to try out pro bono service even if it's in an area outside of one's usual wheelhouse. Segment Five - Andrew Lehmann (HVL): "The Legal Issue Was Actually Really Simple"(BTL Interviewer Rachael Thompson)Andrew Lehmann, who runs HVL's weekly Veterans clinics at Michael E. DeBakey VA Hospital, discusses the issues they typically see and how to volunteer, and he shares recent success stories from the clinic, including a tenant's rights case and Military Sexual Trauma claim. He notes that lawyers should not feel intimidated to volunteer at the clinic or even take a case because often the legal issues are simple and the Veterans just need someone to advocate for them using legal skills that almost every lawyer has.

The parties were married in June 2015. They lived in Japan until 2016 when they moved to the United Arab Emirates. They separated for a period in 2017, but reconciled in 2018 and then lived together in Oman until March 2020 when they travelled to Ontario for a number of reasons, including to visit Mr. Dunmore's parents. They had planned to return to Oman in early April 2020 however, the pandemic precluded them from doing so and they stayed with Mr. Dunmore's parents in Ontario until January 2021. In the meantime, Ms. Mehralian became pregnant and their son M was born in Ontario in December 2020. The parties and M returned to Oman in January 2021 but came back to Ontario in April 2021. The parties then separated in May 2021. Mr. Dunmore moved to the United Arab Emirates and later Oman, while Ms. Mehralian remained in Ontario with M. Ms. Mehralian commenced proceedings in Ontario in June 2021, seeking a divorce, corollary relief and equalization of property. At the same time, Mr. Dunmore commenced a court proceeding in Oman seeking a divorce and joint custody. Ms. Mehralian contested the jurisdiction of the Omani courts, but in March 2022, the Omani Court of Appeal found that Oman had jurisdiction. In subsequent litigation in which both parties participated, an Omani lower court as well as the Omani Court of Appeal found that the parties had been validly divorced in accordance with Omani law and awarded primary custody of M to Ms. Mehralian. Mr. Dunmore brought a motion in the Ontario Superior Court seeking an order recognizing the validity of the Omani divorce in Ontario and an order returning M to Oman. The two issues were heard separately by two different judges. One judge found that the Omani divorce should be recognized in Ontario. The second judge found that M should not be ordered returned to Oman. Ms. Mehralian appealed the first order and Mr. Dunmore appealed the second. Both appeals were dismissed.

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: My husband and I were foster parents in the US, and have since relocated to Denmark for his work. We both still feel called to adopt from foster care, and would like to do that from the US. We know that the US and Denmark are both members of the Hague Convention, and can adopt from each other. You have great resources about international adoption, but usually from the perspective of a person in the US adopting from a foreign country. I'm wondering if you would consider doing a podcast episode on the process of a US citizen habitually resident in a foreign country adopting from US foster care. Resources:Foster Care AdoptionChoosing a Foster Care AgencyThe Creating a Family 3-Step Process for Choosing an International Adoption AgencySupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

Join us as we sit down with Chloe O, a high conflict divorce strategist from the UK, to unravel the intricate challenges of managing international divorce and co-parenting. Chloe brings her expertise to the table, guiding us through the complexities of divorces that span across different countries. We discuss critical issues such as financial responsibilities when one spouse moves abroad, and the importance of negotiation and cooperation to ease the transition. Chloe also sheds light on the legal hurdles, like immigration concerns, where individuals might face the pressure of leaving a country within 60 days of a breakup if they lack an independent right to stay.Listen in as we navigate the jurisdictional complexities of international divorce cases. Chloe highlights the significance of choosing the right legal framework, tailored to individual circumstances. She compares financial disclosure requirements between the UK and mainland Europe, pointing out the strengths of the English legal system for those worried about hidden assets. The conversation also touches on the varying enforceability of prenuptial agreements and the growing trend of "gray divorce" among older adults. Real-life examples illustrate the emotional and legal struggles faced by those who feel isolated after relocating for a spouse's job.In the final segments, we delve into the nuances of parenting agreements and cultural considerations post-divorce. Chloe discusses travel and expense management, emphasizing the severe consequences of violating custody agreements under the Hague Convention. We also explore the importance of cultural awareness when forming parenting plans to ensure they meet both legal requirements and the children's best interests. Chloe underscores the necessity of detailed planning and the value of mediation to avoid court disputes, sharing valuable resources and expert advice to help make the transition smoother for all involved.

The 1980 Hague Convention was meant to protect against children being abducted by a parent. Today, it is frequently used by abusive parents to force their partners into an unenviable choice: lose their child or live within reach of their abusers. Need more great podcasts?

    Slam the Gavel welcomes Helen Pattichides to the podcast. Helen immigrated legally to America in November, 2008 with her spouse and children. Going through the proper channels that took two years to immigrate, Helen and her spouse did this in order to take the reins of their own company in America called, Vision Builders USA. However, her spouse hired an immigration attorney, in Charlotte, NC. This is when the law firm of James, McElroy & Diehl, P.A. became involved. Soon Helen found out why taking the kids was not enough.....      We discussed the concern of the family court and how it applies to the rights of the children. "These law firms are an institution, taxpaying registered business it is not the law and not the judiciary. Yet they control the retainers, then ultimately dictate what the lawyers can do which is nothing, and how it's become a massive tax evasion strategy," Helen explained.     The obliteration of parental rights and the rights of the child, special interest groups, American Bar Association, The Hague Convention, the American Psychological Association and CPS were discussed.     Helen discussed her case 09-CVD-30674 and how it is still going for the last 16 years and is not concluded.To Reach Helen Pattichides: hpattichides@gmail.com******** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryann*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Muhammad Faridi, President of the New York City Bar Association, is joined by Boaz Morag, a Counsel at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton and one of the lead drafters of a recent City Bar report analyzing for the Office of the Legal Advisor in the U.S. Department of State three private international law treaties: the Hague Convention on Choice of Courts Agreements (COCA), the Hague Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters (Judgments Convention), and the UN Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation (Singapore Convention). These treaties deal with the cross-border recognition and enforcement of court judgments and mediated settlement agreements. We investigate the purpose and impact of these treaties on current practice in this country and on U.S. litigants who seek to enforce U.S. courts judgments abroad, the status of the treaties, and the detailed recommendations provided in the City Bar report. The episode provides an in-depth exploration of the potential benefits of these conventions for litigants seeking to have their judgments and settlements enforced internationally as well as the intricacies involved in implementing these treaties in the United States.

In this episode of Law, disrupted, John is joined by Lucas Bento, Of Counsel in Quinn Emanuel's New York office. Bento is the author of The Globalization of Discovery: The Law and Practice under 28 U.S.C § 1782 (Section 1782), the first and only book to discuss the law pertaining to that Section. John and Lucas discuss how, under Section 1782,  parties to proceedings outside of the US can invoke discovery procedures inside the US in aid of those foreign proceedings. John notes how many foreign lawyers he talks to complain about the relatively burdensome US discovery system. Yet they also envy it, especially if you're a plaintiff.  US law has a procedure to achieve US-style discovery of evidence or witnesses located in the US – Section 1782 of Title 28 of the United States Code.The conversation begins by outlining what exactly Section 1782 is. Lucas notes it's a federal statute that allows a party to a foreign proceeding to gain access to US discovery procedures and evidence (including documents and depositions) for use in the foreign proceeding. Historically, one would need to use letters rogatory or go through the Hague Convention on the Taking of Evidence.  But Section 1782 provides many advantages over those tools.  For example, under the Hague Convention, US-style depositions are not available; however, under Section 1782, if there is a witness subject to the jurisdiction of the US courts, they could be served with a subpoena and get a complete US-style deposition. Lucas highlights how powerful a tool §1782 can be, working as a global evidentiary X-ray machine.John asks how one invokes §1782, with Lucas highlighting the application process and the necessary requirements that must be met in order for the application to be processed successfully. If the court authorizes the application, the discovery target can be subpoenaed immediately, making it a very contentious issue. They dive deep into the logistics and Intel discretionary factors of Section 1782 and how these can impact the success of an application. John notes how US discovery is not loved around the world – with foreign jurisdictions hostile to the US's broad processes. In discussing the types of foreign proceedings that qualify under Section 1782, Lucas states that you can obtain US-style discovery as long as the foreign proceeding is pending or within reasonable contemplation – something you can't typically do in the US. However, there are some limitations and boundaries in place, such as the fact that people can't use §1782 to fish around and see if someone has a claim in the first place, or use it for private arbitrations. The conversation moves on to discuss what the future of the law surrounding Section 1782 will look like in the future. Lucas believes its trajectory is on the assent, with more applications being made, which only gives the courts more issues to unpack and define. He argues that Section 1782 is now becoming a routine consideration across the entire legal industry, noting that the statute can be a bastion of truth in a world struggling with fake news and widespread disinformation. The use of legal tools, such as Section 1782, to discover facts can be a means to achieve fairer and more just decisions around the world.Finally, John and Lucas discuss how foreign litigants must act fast and hire qualified US counsel to assist in the use of Section 1782. Lucas notes how relevance is important, although it is still a very broad term in general, and explains why the timing of the application is crucial.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Send us a Text Message.     Slam the Gavel welcomes David Bond to the podcast.  The Hague convention ignored in David Bond's case involving his son who is now in the hands of UK foster care for the last three years. Follow Our Story: https://linktr.ee/justice4keanuLegal Fund: https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice4keanuFather & Son: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BemSQlP1vyU      David Bond filed a paternity/custody case in June 2020. The day before paternity was finally granted in March 2021, mother fled the United States with his son. David  warned the Court that this would happen early in the case, as the mother had been openly threatening to leave the country for months. Child services had assured David that "the mother promised not to leave the country" and they took her word for it. All EVIDENCE ignored.        An emergency order for Sole Custody and Right of Assistance was promptly granted in August 2021 and has since been re-certified in June 2023.      In September 2021 the U.S. Embassy in London had notified the LAPD that David's child was in interim foster care in the UK. His mother had been starving him, a burn was found on his leg, and his teeth were decayed and broken. David then filed a Hague application under the guidance of the U.S. State Department, for his prompt return.              Instead, High Court Justice Lieven ordered that contact be resumed between his son and his mother in September 2022, resulting in a predictable re-abduction attempt in which she assaulted both the social worker and supervisor in the process. This incident was fully captured on security cameras.      This violent abduction attempt happened after she'd hired someone to kill David in January 2022, was diagnosed with psychosis in March 2022, and had already tried to re-abduct him once in April 2022. The Judge used the child as bait to test the mother's mental capacity, endangering his life. https://youtu.be/erCnrF_ju3Q?feature=shared     Coventry then ruled out a return to either biological parent, instead granting full custody to his maternal Aunt in Florida. *DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

    Slam the Gavel welcomes Nataly Anderson, a mother from the UK, who has been going through the Family Courts for almost seven years after her ex-husband, a Croatian former spy, took their children from the UK to Croatia on a vacation and refused to return the children.    Being failed by The Hague Convention on International Parental Child Abduction three times in three different countries, has been proven to be a costly and egregious travesty both mentally and physically for her and her children and this is the topic we discussed in depth today.

Claudia is a Marine as well s a Child Advocate out of Texas who helps with Legislation and brings much awareness to Child Custodial  Interference.     Claudia assists other parents who want the best for their children by speaking to Legislation to help push HB 969 (filed 12/9/2022), as well as it's companion Senate Bill 431 (filed 1/12/2022). HB 559 (filed 11/14/2022),removing Statute of Limitation with Child Custody. That bill will be named Bianca‘s Law.     Starting a Facebook page, "Interference with Child Custody Coalition-IC3," for parents to join and be aware of laws is extremely helpful when reporting custodial interference to the authorities.     She shared her own experience with Parental Alienation and after going through the pain of her own experience channeled her energy while gathering more parents into speaking with the Legislation into passing not only Senate but House Bills as well.    Determined to make a change in children's lives, Claudia wants to see Texas HB 559 and Senate Bill 431 come forward. She shares with us that all fifty states have a custodial interference law and this comes from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Department of Justice, and the National District Attorneys Association. Both Texas and Missouri have prefiled legislative bills on interference with child custody and parental kidnapping.    We also talked about The Hague Convention and the proper route to report a child missing and shared a story of a parent's struggle trying to get their child back.    Claudia shared with us a little bit of her own story while staying busy advocating to, with and for parents.To reach Claudia, you can find her on FacebookSupport the show(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)http://www.dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com/Support the showSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)http://www.dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com/

  Slam the Gavel welcomes Michaela Wade from the UK . Michaela was last on the podcast Season 2, Episode 116 and Season 3, Episode 175.     Michaela is one of the Co-Founders of the Family Law Assistance Franchise, which is a growing band of a new breed of legal practitioners who help people represent themselves in the family courts, using a mix of legal knowledge and coaching techniques.    Her background as a Master Coach and Hypnotherapist, as well as being an NLP and Hypnosis Trainer, means she has all the tools to help clients manage their mindset and anxiety and put themselves in the best possible position to win their case in Family Court.    We discussed the difficult issues regarding The Hague Convention and child abduction. We also talked about when a parent abducts a child to a non-Hague country and what can happen financially to the other parent. There are several countries including Japan that do not recognize The Hague Convention.      The Hague may be decently written but the interpretation gets watered down and that  is where timing comes in. Check points and seizure of passports can be done but there are times a parent who is abducting a child can slip by and go to another country.     Very interesting discussion regarding a topic the public or judges may not know about.To reach Michaela Wade: michaela@familylawasssistance.co.uk www.familylawassistance.co.uk Facebook: Family Law Assistance HQ and on YouTube: Family Law Assistance.

https://linktr.ee/thunderinglegion Big Question: Can War Be Just? Today we will wrestle with the morality of warfare. On episode 3, we wrestled with the question “should Christians be in the armed forces?” which dealt with how a citizen of God's kingdom can also be a citizen of a nation, agent of that nation's armed forces, and bear the sword for that nation (reference Romans 13:4). This episode wrestled with these questions on an individual/tactical level. So as we move up into the operational/strategic level, how do we think about warfare? Today we will wrestle with the question “Can any war be just?” Ecclesiastes chapter 3 says “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens… a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.” The Bible takes a practical view of our sin fallen world, although the general arc of the Bible moves towards peace in the culmination of the person of Jesus (reference Truth Over Tribe series linked in Episode 3 show notes) Ancient philosophers from Egypt, China, India, Greece, and Rome wrestled with ethics of warfare. These schools of thought likely impacted later thinking on ethics of war. “Christian theory of the Just War begins around the time of Augustine of Hippo. The Just War theory, with some amendments, is still used by Christians today as a guide to whether or not a war can be justified.” Wikipedia First off, how does our culture define is justice? Marriem-Webster  “the maintenance or administration of what is just especially by the impartial adjustment of conflicting claims  the quality of being just, impartial, or fair.    Just War Theory On one side lies pacifism.  There is no such thing as a just war.  War is never justified, therefore we should never choose to engage in war.  Pacifism fails to address human nature, which is inherently sinful, and humans are bound to fall into conflict from their sinfulness. On the other side is militarism/nationalism.  This position would argue that war is simply a tool to use as a nation, whenever the benefits of war outweigh the cause.  I'd argue that Nazi Germany and Switzerland both practice this war theory. In the middle is Just War Theory. How does the Bible define justice? Isaiah 51:5 “My righteousness draws near speedily, my salvation is on the way, and my arm will bring justice to the nations.”  Psalm 37:27-29 “Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever. For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed ; the offspring of the wicked will perish. The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.”  Leviticus 19:15 “Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.”  Zechariah 7:9 “This is what the LORD Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another.'” Isaiah 1:17 “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed.Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.”  Christian scholars agree that, to be considered just, a war must meet several jus ad bellum requirements. The four most important conditions are:  (1) the war must be declared openly by a proper sovereign authority (e.g., the governing authority of the political community in question);  (2) the war must have a just cause (e.g., defense of the common good or a response to grave injustice);  (3) the warring state must have just intentions (i.e., it must wage the war for justice rather than for self-interest); and  (4) the aim of the war must be the establishment of a just peace.  Since the end of World War II it has become customary to add three other conditions:  (1) there must be a reasonable chance of success;  (2) force must be used as a last resort; and  (3) the expected benefits of war must outweigh its anticipated costs. Not every nation subscribes to Just War Theory, and countries often sidestep it when it conflicts with their military objectives. One challenge to Just War Theory is that the criteria are too vague and easily twisted/rationalized. But we as Christians believe that God will judge everyone according to the motives of their hearts. Hebrews 10:30 says “For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”” Example: Putin has justified the invasion of Ukraine as self-defense of Russia, but these claims have been widely condemned by the UN and internationally. Lots of talk on war crimes in the news lately Russians have been accused of committing war crimes and atrocities in Ukraine lately. What is a War Crime?  Britannica Just war theory led to formation of international law and rules of engagement. Examples include the United Nations, Geneva Conventions, Hague Convention, and Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC). Three principles established by the conventions generally govern conduct during war:  (1) targets should include only combatants and legitimate military and industrial complexes;  (2) combatants should not use unjust methods or weapons (e.g., torture and genocide); and (3) the force used should be proportionate to the end sought. How do we respond when we are persecuted by those who walk upon justice and persecute truth? Proverbs 25: 21-22, 26: “If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you… Like a muddied spring or a polluted well are the righteous who give way to the wicked.” Matthew 5:38-39 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.”  1 Peter 3:18 “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.” Conclusion: Reflection questions to leave you with How do we as Christians act to provide justice on earth, while also trusting in the Lord to provide ultimate justice?  How does our response to and use of violence look different in our private, individual life and in our service as armed forces members? How can we mimic the selfless love and sacrifice of Christ in how we confront injustice? REFLECT: What does this episode reveal about God's character? How does this episode cause us to see our need for a Savior?  How can we apply lessons learned from this episode to our life? Follow Christ for this day! ✝️ “Choose this day whom you will serve...” ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭24‬:‭15‬ ‭✝️ “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬  Next steps: SHARE with another armed forces member FOLLOW Instagram, Facebook, Podcast https://linktr.ee/thunderinglegion  

    Slam the Gavel welcomes Jeffery Morehouse on the podcast to discuss the non-compliance of Japan in regards to The Hague Convention as well as his own case. In addition to being an award-winning filmmaker, Jeffery Morehouse volunteers much of his time as Executive Director of Bring Abducted Children Home (www.bachome.org). According to U.S. Government figures more than 475 American children have been kidnapped by a parent to Japan since 1994.       Bring Abducted Children Home is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the immediate return of internationally abducted children being wrongfully detained in Japan. Italso strives to end Japan's human rights violation of denying children unfettered access to both parents. BAC Home works to increase public awareness through outreach on the crisis of international parental child abduction. He collaborates with an alliance of international partners working to end child abduction to and within in Japan.      He is also a founding partner in The Coalition to End International Parental Child Abduction (www.endchildabduction.org) uniting organizations to work to put an end to international parental kidnapping of children through advocacy/public policy reform. In July 2022, U.S. Senate Resolution 568, noted, “the Coalition to End International Parental Child Abduction, through dedicated advocacy and regular testimony, has highlighted the importance of this issue to Congress and called on successive administrations to take concerted action to stop international parental child abduction and repatriate kidnapped United States children.”     Between 2015-2021 he testified and briefed the U.S. Congress eight times. Most recently on September 29, 2021 in The Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission and December 10, 2018 in the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee on Japan's systemic failure to return kidnapped children.     In October 2022 he briefed the United Nations Human Rights Committee on parental child abduction and loss of access within and to Japan. This resulted in the UN reporting Japan should, introduce necessary measures.    He has testified as an expert witness in the California and Florida family courts on prevention cases.    Information about his son's 2010 kidnapping to Japan and efforts to locate him and reunite are at: www.bringmochihome.wordpress.com and www.bachome.org/mochi-morehouse/Support the showSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)http://beentheregotout.com/http://www.dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com/

Chris Hearsey, Esquire, has done a lot. He worked for Bigelow Aerospace, the U.S. Department of State, ran for Congress, and worked on a Hague Convention. He's also the co-founder of the Space Court Foundation. We discuss legal issues in space that you need to aware of right now, and some of the items SCF is working on.

Today, we're discussing international adoption with Karen Snow @infertilitylies. She tells us about her own infertility story and shares her experience with international adoption. It's important to point out that her experience is from the perspective of being a Canadian citizen. So, if you're in the US, UK, or Australia where the majority of listeners are listening from, the process is a little different. You'll have to check with your local government about which countries there are adoption agreements with. I'll put a link in the show notes to some resources. The first thing to look at might be the Hague convention. 100 nations are a part of the Hague Convention which protects children in the process of intercountry adoption. I've been wanting to speak to an adoption attorney who can speak to adoption both domestically in the US and internationally, but I've only been able to locate people who can speak to domestic adoptions. If this is something you're interested in as a topic, please reach out to me on Instagram and let me know. I hope you find this episode helpful!

A mother is furious the government has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars paying for her abusive former partner's vexatious legal claims. She won a significant Hague Convention international child abduction case in the Court of Appeal in April 2020, giving her custody of her child. That seemed to be the end of the legal ructions, but little more than a year later she was back in court, a plan she believes is about coercive control. Ben Strang has more on this story.

In this episode of Law, disrupted, John is joined by Lucas Bento, Of Counsel in Quinn Emanuel's New York office. Bento is the author of The Globalization of Discovery: The Law and Practice under 28 U.S.C § 1782 (Section 1782), the first and only book to discuss the law pertaining to that Section. John and Lucas discuss how, under Section 1782,  parties to proceedings outside of the US can invoke discovery procedures inside the US in aid of those foreign proceedings. John notes how many foreign lawyers he talks to complain about the relatively burdensome US discovery system. Yet they also envy it, especially if you're a plaintiff.  US law has a procedure to achieve US-style discovery of evidence or witnesses located in the US – Section 1782 of Title 28 of the United States Code.The conversation begins by outlining what exactly Section 1782 is. Lucas notes it's a federal statute that allows a party to a foreign proceeding to gain access to US discovery procedures and evidence (including documents and depositions) for use in the foreign proceeding. Historically, one would need to use letters rogatory or go through the Hague Convention on the Taking of Evidence.  But Section 1782 provides many advantages over those tools.  For example, under the Hague Convention, US-style depositions are not available; however, under Section 1782, if there is a witness subject to the jurisdiction of the US courts, they could be served with a subpoena and get a complete US-style deposition. Lucas highlights how powerful a tool §1782 can be, working as a global evidentiary X-ray machine.John asks how one invokes §1782, with Lucas highlighting the application process and the necessary requirements that must be met in order for the application to be processed successfully. If the court authorizes the application, the discovery target can be subpoenaed immediately, making it a very contentious issue. They dive deep into the logistics and Intel discretionary factors of Section 1782 and how these can impact the success of an application. John notes how US discovery is not loved around the world – with foreign jurisdictions hostile to the US's broad processes. In discussing the types of foreign proceedings that qualify under Section 1782, Lucas states that you can obtain US-style discovery as long as the foreign proceeding is pending or within reasonable contemplation – something you can't typically do in the US. However, there are some limitations and boundaries in place, such as the fact that people can't use §1782 to fish around and see if someone has a claim in the first place, or use it for private arbitrations. The conversation moves on to discuss what the future of the law surrounding Section 1782 will look like in the future. Lucas believes its trajectory is on the assent, with more applications being made, which only gives the courts more issues to unpack and define. He argues that Section 1782 is now becoming a routine consideration across the entire legal industry, noting that the statute can be a bastion of truth in a world struggling with fake news and widespread disinformation. The use of legal tools, such as Section 1782, to discover facts can be a means to achieve fairer and more just decisions around the world.Finally, John and Lucas discuss how foreign litigants must act fast and hire qualified US counsel to assist in the use of Section 1782. Lucas notes how relevance is important, although it is still a very broad term in general, and explains why the timing of the application is crucial.

On June 15, 2022 the Court decided Golan v. Saada, holding that a court is not categorically required to examine all possible ameliorative measures before denying a Hague Convention petition for return of a child to a foreign country once the court has found that return would expose the child to a grave risk of harm. Joining today to discuss this case is Professor Margaret Ryznar of Indiana University's McKinney School of Law.

Lawyer and academic Gina Masterton became an activist when her sister had a Hague case brought against her. That story has a (rare) happy ending but Gina continues to campaign to get the Convention amended. In this episode, she talks about the harshness of the Australian courts and the extent to which the law is failing both mothers and their children.

In this episode of the FiLiA podcast, lawyer and activist Sudha Shetty talks to us about the often desperate consequences of The Hague Convention for mothers and their children who are fleeing domestic violence. Her response to this injustice has been inspirational: the Hague Domestic Violence Project which she founded is a beacon of hope which we hope to build on through our international Hague Mothers' project.

The Hague Convention was originally intended to protect children from abducting fathers. The reality is very different. This is one mother's harrowing experience of the inhumanity and injustice suffered by women and children who are innocent victims of this legislation. Detroit is living on the run with her son in the US, an outlaw, having escaped from her violent husband. She sent emails while living in a tent, from a truck, in a forest, while parked by a lake, telling her story. A FiLiA volunteer has read Detroit's words as the risk to her is too great.
