Expert Testimony on Japanese Family Law
Mr. Morley has frequently provided expert evidence to counsel and courts concerning the family law of Japan.
A court in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, relying on Mr. Morley's testimony, stated:
“I heard expert evidence on Japan and its adherence to and enforcement of foreign parenting orders from Mr. Jeremy Morley, a New York attorney with an international family law practice and a focus on Japan and Japanese child custody law. Mr Morley has testified in other Canadian court cases and in 2016 was accepted as an expert in British Columbia proceedings ... relying on Mr. Morley's evidence.
I accept Mr. Morley's evidence regarding dad's likelihood of access to [the child] if mom is permitted to move with [the child] to Japan and dad's likelihood of success in getting [the child] back from Japan under the Hague Convention if mom takes [the child] to visit Japan and doesn't return.”
A court in San Diego, California, relying on Mr. Morley's testimony, stated:
“Father argues through the testimony of his expert Jeremy D Morley, an international recognized expert on child custody issues including international enforcement, that despite the recent changes, Japan still will not guarantee enforcement custody orders from California. He relies on his years of experience dealing with the Japanese court and testifying in other courts about Japan's failure to register or enforce non-Japanese orders.”
