Father's Day is right around the corner.  It's not too late to help your child purchase or make a small gift and/or card for his or her dad.  It's important to remember that this holiday is not only for dads but for your child as well.  It's through moments like these that children learn compassion, selflessness, and the joy of giving.  No matter how much disdain you have for your child's father it is really the right thing to do to make sure that the child shares the holiday with his or her father in some way.

In the case of Layman v. Layman, the Virginia Court of Appeals ruled that the trial court erred in classifying as marital property the one-half interest in real estate appellant inherited during the marriage where using separate property to secure a loan which is used for marital purposes and is subsequently repaid in full using marital funds does not transmute the pledged property into marital property.

In the case of Ozaltin v. Ozaltin, the United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit, held that a father's petition pursuant to the Hague Conviction on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and International Child Abduction Remedies Act (ICARA) should be granted and the children returned to Turkey. Father resided in Turkey.  The children had been wrongfully removed
from Turkey. The ICARA granted to the father a federal right of action to secure the effective exercise of rights of access
protected under the Hague Convention.  Father was also entitled to an award of all his expenses.
