I just checked out the Asahi news article(Japanese) above. It seems like their relationship were already on the rocks before they flew back to the US last June. The article…

Because the courts in the US said otherwise, shared custody was suppose to be in the US not in Japan or between Japan and the US, if she was to return to Japan for permanent residence a new arrangement would have to be made, one which wasn't made. Another reason…

Does her husband have partial custody?

I don't know your meaning of "partial custody." But, if you consider his limited visitation rights-- that are to see his kids up to twice in the weekends per month--, you can say it as a partial custody. But, you're in Japan, he wont’…

OK, it's check-out time.

JoeBigs:

Very good point, but....hmmmm....but.... why did he take his family to Tenn and then after she arrives, he files for divorce???

Actually, it was she(Noriko) who filed for divorce, because she found it extremely difficult to live her life with the kids in the US.…

The couple divorced in January. A month later, Christopher remarried, and he and new wife, Amy, blended Christopher’s kids with her own three children.

Once again, it is clear what their intentions are and this comes straight from the homewrecker Amy. She has repeated it to several reporters. Yet the…

Christopher had partial custody of Isaac and Rebecca, but Amy Savoie told Vieira live via satellite from Tennessee that Noriko often made it difficult for them.“We were always treated as if our love for the children was valueless, was unimportant,” Amy Savoie said. “It could have been more congenial…

They were raised in Japan for most of their lives. Why should they stay in the US? The mother was very kind to take them to be near their father.

I can totally understand the situation. That's the sort of grievance strategy this woman is using to build the solidarity…

In this case I support Noriko but there must be other cases where men have had their children ripped from them undeservedly but of course the main reason for losing access to your kids is beating your wife and/or cheating.

Hard to prove perjury when she merely expressed her "intention". Her intention at that time was to stay in America.

It doesn't matter. Since she testified at the court, her speech was recorded, and will be kept in the legal record of state. And as long as she is to…

maintained it all the way until she did not return from Japan

Well, that's how the problem occurred. The Tennessee court keeps the record of her testimony that clearly spells out her intention, and she suddenly ran away from legal constraint? Anyone could be in a huge trouble if you…
