“My ex wanted to move our sons to Morocco permanently. As their father, I had equal custody rights. My lawyer argued that removing them from their school and community was not in their best interest. The judge agreed and blocked the move. I see my boys every week now.”

My lawyer handled service of process through international channels, got a default judgment, and I was able to move on with my life. The whole process took about nine months.”
