Q: What do you recommended an American father do? His US born daughter was taken to Europe in violation of a US child custody order, and there was a nasty international child custody dispute involving the European mother of his daughter that lasted 16 years. The US State Department notifies him that his daughter now 18 wants to see her American father but wants to live in Europe with her European mother for the rest of her live. The US State department can make arrangements for him to see his daughter, but the first meeting would be held at the American embassy in Europe and he will also have to deal with his European ex wife. He has not seen his daughter in the last 16 years. The US State Department informs him that the European mother will not be extradited to the United States face criminal charges in the United States.
