She’s not “Leaving on a Jet Plane”

Halle Berry has lost her court battle to move her daughter from Los Angeles to France according to the November 26, 2012 issue of People. She and her fiance’, Olivier Martinez, were “ready to start a more low-key life together in France” but Berry’s “ex”, Gabriel Aubry, objected. In Louisiana, the adverse impact of separating a child from her father by such a great distance would have to be outweighed by significant benefits before a court would approve it.

I would like to start by saying I am from TX and my ex wife tried to file a judgment in LA. I contacted a number of lawyers that explained to me that this maybe a process that they could look into.
