one of the most memorable custody
00:06
disputes
00:06
involved this couple
00:10
with two very young children they had
00:12
some barn burner of a fight and
00:15
mom swoops up kids and she goes home to
00:18
her mother’s house
00:20
that’s fairly typical except in this
00:23
case
00:23
the mother lived in canada and that’s
00:26
kidnapping
00:27
i was ordered to have my client present
00:30
the children back
00:31
in court within 24 hours which we did

00:36
individual for my client

client’s reputation

to be the custodial parent

we did it
01:08
we did it i remember the closing
01:10
argument
01:12
like it was yesterday i i closed my book
01:14
and i said
01:15
the hell with political correctness
01:18
these children
01:19
belong with their mother and the judge
01:24
agreed
01:29
