Who is Sean Goldman's Brazilian Family Side? The Bianchis Are Rich and Powerful and Always Get What They Want

It was like David vs. Goliath in the epic biblical story. David Goldman, a single father from Tinton Falls, N.J. decided to take on an entranched, powerful and rich Brazilian family. Thanks to God and the Brazilian Supreme court and countless efforts from the citizens of both countries, David ended up triumphing over Goliath. Is it the end of the battle as the grandparents are getting ready to battle in U.S. courts? It seems that money is not a problem for them. They must rich landowners and business people in Brazil. They are saying that Sean has a sister in Brazil. They are close. He does not want to be away from his sister. It looks like the grandparents have a better shot at getting their grandson reunited with their grandaughter in a U.S. court. Lins e Silva is ready to help with legal briefs too. Can he practice in the U.S.?

Here is how Dateline NBC describes the court battle between David Goldman and the entranched, powerful and rich Brazilian families, the Ribeiros and Lins e Silvas.

"David is fighting the battle of his life and has run up against two very powerful and influential families, the Ribeiro's and Lins e Silva's, that have done all they can to prevent him from being reunited with Sean. He has exhausted virtually every legal option available to him in both the US and Brazil at great cost emotionally and financially. After Bruna's sudden and tragic passing on August 22nd 2008, we all assumed David would finally be able to see Sean and bring him home. Unfortunately, he is now in the midst of another custody battle, this time with Bruna's new husband, João Paulo Lins e Silva...."

How did this five-year battle to regain custody get started? While you may be interested in its conclusion, it is worth taking a look at how it started.

According to Bruna's mother, the marriage was not going anywhere. Tired of working too much and feeling lonely, the beautiful Bruna decided to move back to Brazil, but she failed to tell her husband, David, the whole story. She decided to take her son with her with plans of not coming back. While being in Brazil, she decided to divorce David and married into a powerful Brazilian family. Her new husband comes from a powerful group of family lawyers in Brazil. He is the one who is going to exhaust all appeals for the purpose of keeping young Sean in Brazil. Andy way, while giving birth to Lins e Silva's daughter, the mother mother died.

That is how the drama got started. Goldman's fight against a powerful fmaily of Rio de Janeiro lawyers was truly seen as a rematch of biblical proportion. The Brazilian family of Sean will soon realize that money and power do not always get you everything.

David Goldman persisted. He never gave up despite all the odds. He took on the radio and talk shows. People from both countries started seeing the truth. A dad wants to be reunited with his son. More and more sympathizers started joining David's camp. So on 12-24-09, Goldman was granted the custody of his son. This time, he had him and they were flying back to America.

Both father and son are now back in New Jersey! This may be the only victory for a single dad.

......It began as a love affair. David Goldman was an American model working in Milan when he met Bruna, a beautiful Brazilian-born fashion design student. They fell in love, got married, moved to New Jersey and had a son named Sean. But everything changed in 2004 when Bruna took their 4-year-old son to Brazil for what Goldman says was a family vacation. Bruna and Sean never returned.
