How Did David Golman Win His Son's Custody Back? A Single Father's Custody Strategy

The way David framed his fight for the return of his son was very important in getting him back.

Here is a memorable passage from all his interviews, texts and communications:

".....Sean is my family, Sean is my son. I tis our right to be together, not just a rule of law, not just a treaty, not he's Brazilian, not he's American, not he's from anywhere. He's my son and I should be able to raise my son and he should know his dad..."

Sean is back on American soil. His father will hopefully share him with his grandparents who can travel to the US to see him.

"A father and his 9-year-old son at the center of a five-year custody battle on two continents arrived in Florida from Brazil Thursday.

Sean Goldman and his dad, David Goldman of Tinton Falls, N.J., landed in Orlando on a private jet chartered by NBC. They reunited earlier in Rio de Janeiro, ending an epic battle that pitted Sean's father against the boy's Brazilian stepfather, who had cared for Sean since his mother died last year."

Happy Father's Day: Ordinary and Famous Fathers Of Notes:

All fathers are important in a home. They are special and great super stars in their kids' lives. And money does not define their status. With or without it, they are parents. They are fathers. On this specific date, we want to wish David Goldman "Happy Father's Day." We hope he is going to be with his son soon.

David Goldman let his wife and son leave for a vacation in Brasil in 2004. They never came back. The still married woman met and fell in love with a native Brazilian and well-connected man. When Sean's mother and David's wife died while giving birth, the Brazilian husband latched himself onto little Sean whom he considers as his son. Hiding behind all his contacts and money, he is able to find players in the Brazilian Judicial system to thumb his nose at the laws and international treaties signed by the country.

In the meantime, a young American boy is kept away from his father who is leading a campaign to get his son back.

Today, many parents are fighting one way or another. They are fighting to keep food on the table. They are fighting to keep their job.

A father's work is never done. As a father, you are in a fight to give your kids the best of everything.
