NJ Father in Custody Dispute Urges Tougher Laws

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The New Jersey man at the center of an international custody battle is lobbying for legislation that would require more U.S. help to resolve such cases.

David Goldman is seeking custody of his 9-year-old son, who's being raised in Brazil by the boy's stepfather.

Goldman said Thursday during his visit to Capitol Hill that there's a crisis with "our American children being taken abroad.''

Legislation by Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., would require better tracking of these kind of cases. The proposal also would spell out what the U.S. could do to uncooperative countries.

Goldman's wife took the boy to Brazil in 2004. She died last year in childbirth.

A Brazilian judge has decided the boy must remain with the stepfather until a final ruling in the case.
