Judge orders woman to divorce her husband...one of them, anyway

In one Bad Axe [the name of the town] decision, a Judge has ordered a woman to divorce one of her two husbands. She married her second husband without getting divorced from the first...which is illegal in the Michigan [and in North Carolina] and is called polygamy, bigamy, or polyandry.

Japan and the U.S. at odds about the Hague Convention on child abduction

"Washington and other governments have long criticized Japan for not signing the Hague Convention on child abduction, urging Tokyo to relieve the plight of foreign nationals who are denied contact with their children by their Japanese former spouses."

It is not unusual in Japan for one parent, often the father, to lose all contact with their offspring after a divorce."
