Pursuant to the UCCJEA, the Illinois and Michigan judges held a teleconference during which they agreed that Michigan would hold a UCCJEA evidentiary hearing to determine which of the two states had jurisdiction. Both courts issued orders to that effect. However, the trial court in Monroe, Michigan broke its promise to the Illinois court and, instead of holding the UCJEA home state hearing, took jurisdiction via another law, an action that was rebuked by the Michigan Court of Appeals.UCCJEA Informationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345309653334594704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206731586449610876.post-22971821678890154232009-10-02T20:48:43.686-05:002009-10-02T20:48:43.686-05:00Further, in Foster v Wolkowitz, the mother made mu...Further, in Foster v Wolkowitz, the mother made multiple accusations of abuse against the father, however, the judge in the mother's home town still awarded the father joint custody and unsupervised visitation.UCCJEA Informationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345309653334594704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206731586449610876.post-8448990317466708032009-10-02T20:44:42.757-05:002009-10-02T20:44:42.757-05:00This case is a travesty!

A little known fact about this case is that when the mother originally filed, she asserted that there was no affidavit of parentage - in order to put the case outside the jurisdiction of the UCCJEA. Then, amazingly, the affidavit was used to avoid the application of the UCCJEA! The custody order in this case forced the father to travel 5 hours by car, from Chicago, to see his daughter in Monroe Michigan, even though the mother failed to even seek the court's permission to remove the child from Illinois - where the child, mother and father lived in the same home, and whe mother had a job, had a driver's license, received state-funded health care, and was considered a in-state student at an Illinois university she attended.UCCJEA Informationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345309653334594704noreply@blogger.com
