SOUTH ORANGE ESSEX COUNTY NEW JERSEY DIVORCE ATTORNEY

At the heart of "this sad case," which raises questions of international and federal law under the Hague Convention's Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, is a custody battle over a young girl who has not seen either of her parents in years. Because it agrees with the skillful analysis of Judge Debevoise of the District Court, the circuit panel affirms his denial and dismissal, with prejudice, of appellant's habeas corpus petition which sought to end her detention in the Ner Jersey (Bergen County) jail for violating a Superior Court civil contempt order.    Carrascosa v. McGuire, etc., et al., United States Circuit Court of Appeals, 3d Cir., April 1, 2008
