Settlement Is Inevitable!

The author writes "Our court system is a bedrock of our society. It is a place where people come to resolve differences and disputes, seek redress and recourse for wrongdoing and request assistance and remedy in a myriad of circumstances and situations. The expectation is that all matters before the court will be handled fairly, impartially, safely, and promptly. In order to preserve confidence in our court system, it is imperative that cases not languish and are resolved without unnecessary and protracted litigation."

In the New Year, Take Another Look at Second Look

The author writes "For nearly as long as I have been a judge, I have firmly believed in the importance of what I call demystifying the judiciary — that is, helping the public understand what judges do, how they make decisions, and how they’re chosen for their positions. One aspect of this demystification is candidly discussing my background and upbringing because I believe that my formative experiences — humble as they were — have given me a perspective some judges may lack, including a deep appreciation of the value of second chances. This perspective makes it easy for me to understand the motivation behind the push to enact 'Second Look' legislation in New York."

However, when enforcing that order in a foreign country, the harsh truth remains that foreign countries are sovereign entities and not required to recognize or defer to a U.S. family court's jurisdiction or custody decision."
