Did Goldman fight for child custody of his son in Brazil?
Brazilian child custody decision could come Tuesday (CNN) -- The chief justice of the Brazilian Supreme Court could decide Tuesday on whether to reunite a 9-year-old boy with his American father, a U.S. Embassy official said. David Goldman, the boy's father, has been locked in a legal battle over custody of his 9-year-old son, Sean, with the family of the boy's deceased mother. Last week, a lower court unanimously upheld a decision ordering that Sean be returned to his father in New Jersey.
David Goldman arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to reunite with his son, but one Supreme Court justice issued a stay, ordering Sean to remain with his Brazilian relatives until the high court could consider the case. On Sunday, Brazilian Chief Justice Gilmar Mendes said he would make the final decision Monday. That decision was delayed and could be made Tuesday, said Orna Blum, press attache at the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia.
