[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing in any of the filings that Joes intent was to keep the kids in the USA as a primary parent and not let them spend time with her in England. Right now they are in the midst of getting a proper custody order in place which is why for a temporary period they can’t leave. She is the one filing saying she would keep the kids in the UK.

There is a lot of legal wrangling happening right now. It is a little strange to go for dinner all together the night before you file a suit saying he abducted the kids. I really don’t think this is what The Hague Convention related to child abduction was meant for.[/quote]

It's pretty much exactly what it's for. It was intended to help restore/resolve child custody disputes where parents are citizens of different countries and one parent takes the kids from one country to another against an agreed upon custody arrangement.

Think about it from her perspective. When Joe and the girls left the UK, she was under the impression they would be spending a few weeks traveling around the US on tour with his band, and then reuniting withe her in NY before returning to their rental home in the UK and continuing to prepare to move into the home they purchased in Dec. Then, in the middle of that trip, Sophie and Joe have a fight, he files for divorce, and suddenly a court in Florida, where neither of them even lives, is telling her that she can't take her kids back to what she considers their familial home. Think about how you would feel if your spouse filed for divorce when you were separated for work reasons and the kids were with him, and then you found out if you wanted to be with your kids, you needed to stay in a hotel in NY because you can't go home.

People who think she's being overly aggressive should ask themselves what they do in the exact same situation. Because personally, I'd do what Sophie is doing -- find a lawyer who is an expert in international divorce involving child custody, and follow his advice. Yes "child abduction" sounds really serious, but the way Joe chose to go about it falls within the definition under The Hague Conventions. If he didn't want it to escalate like this, perhaps he should have considered waiting until he and Sophie were in the same place with equal access to their kids before discussing it with her and figuring out how best to dissolve their marriage while taking care of their kids. He set all this in motion by acting very rashly and filing in such a way as to put Sophie in an impossible situation.[/quote]

If it was me I would not be leaving my little kids for months at a time with no visits. I travel hours to see my sick mom so she could do the same. So there is that..[/quote]
