It was the Mother being unreasonable,stealing the child in violation of a court order and hiding the child in the USA.Depriving the Father of his rights.
Hyperbole much? There is zero evidence of harm in the article above. Unless you count switching dentists. Good grief.
And before you say moving away from friends, keep in mind thousands of military brats do it all the time.
The way we’re going the child might be better off in Ireland than Chicago.
You have a point. And honestly, Blue Island is not exactly a paradise of charm, history, culture, and sophistication. The kid might actually grow up better in Ireland.
Actually the kid will get dual citizenship his entire life because Ireland and the US have agreed to it that way.
The woman was wrong because she broke the agreeement.
You paint way to broad a stroke with your anti-foreigner BS. My wife isn’t from the US your basically saying that I should never have married her - screw your opinionated knee-jerk response.
I agree.
I thought the same....PLUS....boys need Daddy’s (as long as they are responsible)....especially after a certain age...he is a little young, but the Mother seems a bit wacky.
I’ve never understood couples who choose to just live together and not marry. I further don’t understand why they choose to propagate under such conditions. Nothing good can possibly come out of this.
I visited Ireland in 2010....What a great country. I hope he is able to visit the Guinness Factory when he gets older and I did see the St. Patrick’s Day Parade while there but it wasn’t anything like the New York St. Patrick’s Day parade which surprised me...It was much more like the Mardi gras parade in New Orleans. I did see the Blarney Stone but did not kiss it because of all the rumors I heard about the stone and what people do to it.
You know what is wrong with this picture?
The dad is only doing this to hurt the mom. Dads simply do not have the time to spend and they do it to avoid paying child support.
Sounds like Mom did pretty much the same thing as the foreign parents, usually fathers, who violate an American custody order and flee with the child to their home country.
I see no particular reason why this should be accepted simply because the person violating the court order is an American.
Good for the father, this woman, like so many others, was playing games with the kid, its not often that the father wins out in such cases with feminist courts always stacked against them, so once again good for him!
THANK YOU!
I didn’t realize you knew these people personally. Please share what you know so we can all see the facts about how this dad doesn’t have the time. I know many, many men whose wives decided military life wasn’t for them and bailed on husband and kids. These men are wonderful, loving, INVOLVED fathers, even though they are busy...and even have to deploy at times. The mother here is the one doing the harm. She violated the custody order. Sounds like she wanted to play games with dad and use the boy to do it, not the other way around.
sounds like you are among the fortunate...happily married.

First of all, American courts have not made a final ruling on this matter and whether or not Ireland even had jurisdiction over the case, without which the Irish courts could not have made such a incomprehensible decision to punish her and Jack. She only participated in the Irish courts to try and come to an agreement with the father. Of course she wanted to bring these issues up in court, but, as I’m sure you don’t know, she was not allowed to testify to anything “negative” about the case after the father slammed her with lies for over two hours. Her right to defend herself was stripped away by a judicial system that had no right to hear the case in the first place. The Hague, which he filed for with falsified information over 4 years later, deals with putting the child in it’s place of habitual residence. His residence has been Chicago his entire 5 and half years of life bar a few short months he spent as an infant. When she left in July 2007, she had every right as his mother to leave with him. An unwed father by Irish law has no legal claim to a child. I hope this clears this up for you and this is a tragedy for our family and all Americans should be outraged that a poor child has been uprooted and sent away to people he barely knows. You have every right to your opinion and we have every right as Americans citizens to live in our own country. “

Funny I heard no outcries from the immigration crowd on this case
Actually, if they didn’t marry the mother before knocking her up, I would say no, they have no right... they were never committed to the mother or child to begin with.

Of course by the same token, since the woman did not renounce her Irish citizenship but remained a dual citizen, she never committed to be subject solely to US jurisdiction, either.
wow,lol how did you ever file a response after 6 years?
