For the sake of the children, Japan must create laws to protect the rights of both parents equally regardless of their nationality. Laws must also be written that protect the rights and safety of their children. And of course, the US Embassy must do a better job of notifying US nationals that they are required to notarize their marriage certificate following their marriage to a Japanese national.

Fortunately, my daughter's mother died so she was able to get in touch with me by going through her mother's old phone and finding my number.

At the very least please warn US citizens of the HUGE risk that they are taking when choosing to have children with a Japanese citizen.

We have 4 children. Even among my Japanese friends, this is a heartbreaking situation, compounding the already heartbreaking situations that lead to divorce.
My American friend cannot have contact with her grandchildren because her son and his Japanese wife were divorced. It is not good for the children to be so cut off. This is an injustice for all concerned.
