Legal Question in Family Law in California
Child Custody
I am a Saudi citizenship, living in Saudi Arabia, I was married to a Philippine lady, we were living in Saudi Arabia,we have two girls, 11 years and 5 years. I divorced my wife from Muslim court. Since then we been good friends, she got married to US citizenship and she is getting her US nationality soon. We call each other�s in the phone, and I send her money from time to time, and I manage to let her see the kids every year in a country between Saudi Arabia and the states, I took care of all expenses.
Now, I am planning to visit the US with my kids, but my concern that she might take the kids, she promised me that she won�t do it, and to trust her, so we could visit there every year, also she doesn�t have enough income to support them, and her husband won�t allow them to live in his house.
I wonder if I ask her to write an authenticated affidavit where she attest that she grant me 100% the custody of the kids, will this certificate be enough for me to have peace of mind when I visit the US with my children. And if so, what kind of affidavit and endorsed by whom..

This is a very complicated question. The United States will probably honor
the Muslin court's order. For a $75.00 phone consultation, please call 1-800-
