Brasil

Hello,

Thanks, for all the advice, regarding my problem. I posted on the morning of Feb 7, that I am having a problem with my wife not wanting to return to the states with our son. I did find a good lawyer he wants 10,000 reies to due this process, this is a lot of money down here!

I also went to the child socail services and was to have a meeting today at 2:30 with my wife, but they forgot to notify her´about the meeting. This country is a joke when comes to legal matters, I am told. A man I know said the best thing to due, is when you see your child just flee to Paraguai and go to the embassy there. He said your child will be grown up and you will be broke, by the time you finish. I did read the information about the Hague Convention and showed the lawyer, he is going to record this information in the pettion as one of the arguments. I am just waiting here in Brasil now to see who will get temp custody. Any advice, would be helpful. Thanks,

I'm in Brazil and know a lot of great lawyers that will get things done!

It is a joke when you don't hire the right people or don't know what to do...... but when you're in the right track it's not that hard to make things work.

I'll ask you a few questions that will make it easier for me to help you. How old is your son? How long have you been married? How long have they lived with you and where? How long ago did she come back to Brazil? What kind of visa was she on while living with you in the US? What was the last time you talked to her?

I'll call my uncle and see what he tells me about your case and what you can do. He's a great lawyer, very known. I'll let you know what he told me.

Good luck until then!

Have you spoken to the US consulate about your options?

I left a message on my uncle's answering machine and as soon as he calls me back I'll let you know what we can do to help you.

I am really sorry to hear what you are going through... it must be terrible.. your situation reminds me of a movie based on a true story "Not without my daughter" I truly hope you will sort everything very soon.

Good luck to you and hang in there.

Yes, I first posted under Williamc. No I have not talked to the US consulate yet. I did receive information on this forum about the Hauge Convention, this I feel is my best option. I have read that using the Hauge Convention you can have a local atty pettion the local court were the child is located to have the child returned to the proper jurisdiction of habitual residence. Or another option is to file directly to the Central Authority in Brasil. Does anyone know the were the Central Authority is located in Brasil? Thanks,

dude PLEASE also contact the Embassy they may be able to help as your son has dual citizenship.

Can't help on the other part but I really hope this gets sorted for you quickly.

You had better find out if Brazil is a signatory of the Hague Convention. If not, then I dont see some Judge down there separating a US Citizen child from his/her mother.

Yes, they signed on December 1, 2003. Although I dont know if there has been any problems with compliance. Things move very slow in Bahia no hurry here.
