IS THE GIRLS FATHER AFRICAN AMERICAN? (black)

i bet he is. I keep telling you all to stay AWAY from them!

but since you didn't, its too late now, your Fwacked!!

THE HONEST TRUTH..

(P.S. - Thanks for the E-mail and admitting that YES! he IS Black!)


Being overseas, I don't know how effective enforcing the child support is going to be. However, if he is hurting her and she wants to end all contact with him, they need to go to the Japanese courts and tell them about the abuse. If he has bruised her, the courts need to see that. Also, try contacting American officials in Japan to see what they can do.
Good luck to her!
Not much. International law is pretty restrictive regarding things like this. The best thing to do would be to come to the US, and take the dad to court in a US court. You might win some concession there.

However, the dad can then ask for visitation rights, which means the girl would have to live in the US, whether she wants to or not.

If you want the money, move to the US. Otherwise, make due without.
Sense her Father is American she may be able to file something in the American court system. What she should have done was report him to the police when she was here. That would have a least have given her a start in the system in America. I know at 14 I wouldn't have thought of this either. the other thing her family may be able to do is go through their consulate or embassy, it worth a shot I hope this helps a Little anyway. If her parents married that should make her half American. They should contact some one who knows international law that's what I would do.
There's a lot of african japanese and african philipinos.

anyways. it's best to go to the U.S. and go to court in the U.S.

but...being slapped...that's not abuse really...I mean he didn't punch or keep attacking her did he?
