More on The Californer
In every divorce there are two sides to the story, but for the children stuck between them who is right and who is wrong makes little difference when they are taken from one county, culture, and family to another. Even the best intentions sometimes lead us down the wrong path, but there is always hope.
THE COPELAND KIDS screenplay has also won the Van Gough Award at the Amsterdam Film Festival, been named a Finalist for Finish Line Script Competition and The Great American Script Contest, selected for LA Live Film Festival and named Winner Best Screenplay Pinnacle Film Awards.
The "Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act" is the current law on the books that grew out of the legal changes made during the Copeland Kidnappings. At the time there was nothing beyond a misdemeanor to enforce the home state custody order and prevent parental kidnappings. The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement has been adopted in forty-nine of the fifty states.
