Hi Blog. I included this as part of my previous newsletter on Japan’s judiciary, but it warrants a blog entry all its own. Don’t want it to get buried.
From Mark at Children’s Rights Network Japan. Debito
==================================
I would like to tell everyone about a new law journal article about Japanese family law that is now available. It’s written by a law professor in Japan who himself has been through the family court system all the way up to the Supreme Court.
First sentence: “Japan is a haven for parental child abduction.”
Need I say more? If you are married to a Japanese partner and have children, its a must read, even at 100 pages. Look for it here:

Happy Reading.
