are you japanese?? if not your name will not be on the koseki why did you agree to have it removed. 50/50 share doesnt happen in japan thats why she went to the states and thats why she threatened him that he would never see his kids unless she gave him a huge settlement,when his pharm company hit the jackpot i agree money was hers as well but so were the kids.

i dont agree unagidon. most posters say both of them are at fault. a lot were saying it was all his fault early on,but thats obviously not the case now.
as for you asking about d cit.. exactly the point.it isnt legal.she has forfeited her j cit by taking us cit and he didnt renounce his us cit so forfeits his us cit legally. what will the authorities do?prob they dont even know-they cant really remove her j citizenship can they???

sadly,your predicament highlights the problem.
men and in particular foreigners have no rights in divorces in japan so many women like noriko do threaten the father that they will never see the children again unless they pay large amounts of money.

well as when they were still in japan, noriko told him that she hadnt loved him for many yrs and said he would never see the kids again unless he gave her a substantial payment then you can understand that he was slightly upset. the point here is , men in particular foreigners have no rights in divorces in japan with japanese

michaelgtodd.
your name was never on the koseki i would have thought.
does your child have your name? christopher doesnt have these issues as japanese. he can refuse permission to remove from koseki.

i agree this guy is a piece of rubbish but under japanese law there is no reason to arrest him. parents cant kidnap their kids unless one has sole custody. their divorce wasnt registered in japan.she didnt have sole custody. how can they arrest him? if they are saying that they are ignoring us law cos under japanese law kidnapping own child is not a crime then why are they arresting him

derekj,
you need to read up a bit more before ignorantly opining. he was cheating on noriko.it is clear in her court testimony that she knew he wanted to divorce her before she went to us.he didnot hide his naturalization,its in the testimony. she like the decision about here getting 800k but didnt liike the bit bout staying in us so ignored that bit of the decision and left.

it would be nice fairy story. you forget he is japanese japan not signatory to hague convention
tennessee courts ruling seen as irrelevant here if they accept it then this would set a precedent they dont want to set

fact is both the woman and the j police have tried to have it both ways. he was awarded sole custody of the kids when she absconded. therefore his to take when he comes to japan. japan police say that they dont follow american law. fine,then it that case as their divorce is not legal registered on what grounds are they arresting him???

chuckers,
you obviously no nothing of how divorce works in japan. he could never get custody there has never been a case when a white man was awarded the kids over a japanese wife in japan.just wont happen. even in cases where the wife has been certifiably mentally insane the court ruled against the caucasian involved.(ex husband told that court couldnt give kids to a foreigner) you need to try to understand that divorce/child custody injapan is based on different criteria than in the states-racial and gender ones.

chuckers,
nonsense.you have just made up large parts of the story you know nothing about. the reason he wouldnt have access to his kids in japan is because hes a white man.the affair or other has nothing to do with it. end of story. she wouldnt have got the cash in japan,even if hed stayed and divorced her here thats not how it works. so now shes got the kids and the cash, back in japan and refusing to let him see the kids,having used the us laws she likes and ignored the others not to her liking. hes in the hole for 800gs and no kids now,and in the clink. i originally sided with her,but in my opinion they are both pretty dreadful. still i would like to know how the police could possibly arrest him. to state again,their divorce had not been recorded in japan(different from having divorced in us,something you seem unable to gather) and hes the kids father. if it had been the other way round,do you really think the police would arrest a japanese for kidnapping kids if an nj or nat nj phoned them??

corinnajune. she got a crappy deal?? she got 800,000$... according to the court transcript she knew that he was going to divorce her before she went to the states. i wonder why she went then
the reality is he wouldnt have had any access rights to the kids if hed stayed in japan so save your sympathy

he didnt drag her to america at all. she went of her own volition even knowing he was seeing another woman and would divorce her in the states.she was handsomely rewarded with 800,000$ for her trouble

fair enough chuckers but according to the court record she expressly says that she knew her husband was with someone else and that there was no chance of a reconciliation,before she went to the us. when they divorced she got 800,000$ think shed get that in japan..
