A Japanese law is keeping Christopher Savoie's children in Japan with his ex-wife who fled there after approval from a Tennessee court judge. The divorce between Christopher and his wife was bitter then ended with threats of taking the children out of the country, which she did.
Christopher took the matter into his own hands after his ex-wife left the country. He went to Japan and took his kids back on their way to school then was arrested a short time later.
Japan hasn't complied with international law for any half-Japanese children that are taken into the country. The father feels it might be a feeling of entitlement.
The other problem with the Savoie children being in Japan is there are no rights for visitation. Christopher's ex-wife is not being held by law to share the rights of her children with their father.
A divorce in Japan leaves full custody of children directly to the mother. Fathers have no rights of the children. Christopher explains that Japanese fathers have written him and explained their similar stories.
In related news, Russia announces that adoption of Russian children by American parents is not halted. “A suspension of adoptions is possible only by a law of the Parliament or by an act of the president," stated Andrei A. Fursenko.
This is the continued response from Russian officials regarding Artyom Savelyev return to Russia from his adoptive mother because of behavioral issues.
