Enjoining Potential International Child Abduction
The Sean Goldman parental abduction case has been making the news of late, with articles appearing in The New York Times and other publications, and television news stories running on national and international networks. His story is shining a light once more on the perils of international parental child abduction.
Sean Goldman's Brazilian mother took him, at the age of 4, from the New Jersey home they shared with Sean's father for an ostensible family visit to Brazil. Once in that country, however, Sean's mother informed her husband that neither she nor Sean would return to New Jersey. So began years of legal wrangling over where Sean should live, and with whom. Even after Sean's mother died, her family refused to return the child to his father. Brazil's courts have come under criticism for their handling of the case, including by both U.S. houses of Congress, but Sean still remains in Brazil, in legal limbo.
