Yeah, he sort of lost a lot of my support as well.  I don't condone
the child abduction
on either party but the guy is a real scumbag.

Other rumours on the intraweb thingy are saying that the wife wanted a
divorce in
Japan but he wouldn't have it.  So, he "flees" to Tennessee in Jan of
2008.  It looks
very much like he told her that if she wants a divorce, she is going
to have to come
to Tennessee with the kids.  Which she does in June of 2008.
Whereupon she is
served with divorce papers before she has a chance to unpack.

Must be oodles of fun trying to find a divorce lawyer in a foreign
country with a different
native tongue.  Way to work the "system" there, big guy.  It's not as
if you didn't basically
"abduct and hold hostage" "your" kids and (now) ex-wife in making her
come to TN.

I think the Tennessee courts also screwed the pooch on this one by
awarding "joint"
custody.  Don't get me wrong, joint custody is a wonderful concept as
long as the parental
units in question can at least be civil to each other at all times
rather than using the
kids as weapons.  But for the courts to say that one party now has to
live in a foreign
country and look after the kids in a land they have never known for
all but 2 weekends a
month is just plain wrong.  They should have just given her sole
custody and allowed her
to take the kids back to Japan.  Which is where she is now.

That, and the now ex-wife was a bit stupid in agreeing to come to the
States with the kids.
She should have just refused and scumbag Dad would have a hard time
getting re-married
without the divorce.  Not that it would have stopped him from dipping
his stick, of course,
but this whole thing would have been avoided.
