As the Commonweal...Thank you for your comment Van.<br /><br />As the Commonwealth of Virginia has enacted this law, it is perfectly feasible to use it against abductors' or accomplices' assets located within the Commonwealth.<br /><br />Enforcing a judgment beyond the jurisdiction of Virginia is going to be problematical - but this law is in situ to deal with situations such as an abductor who leaves but has pension rights here, or a home or other real estate - these are all perfectly and legitimately targets for seizure and forfeiture.<br /><br />The same applies if an abductor abducts a child to Virginia and establishes themselves. Again, their assets are subject to seizure and forfeiture within Virginia.<br /><br />This Bill does two things (providing there are assets) - it targets assets of abductors from VA and it targets assets of abductors to VA.<br /><br />What happens outside of VA is another story Van.Emily's Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05262312626090203141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30334831.post-54720988495682536882011-04-12T13:12:33.447+01:002011-04-12T13:12:33.447+01:00I'm new to your blog so haven't had time t...I'm new to your blog so haven't had time to follow with events. However,I have had experience in Hague and Brussels II revised conventions. At first glance, I would like to raise the fact this new bill by Virginia state has absolutely no weight in international child abduction. Ceasing the abductor's assets would actually impossible to implement and possibly unlawful.Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17359012902721042557noreply@blogger.com
