The first thing the child needs is a passport! That's to get back in, if nothing else!
It wouldn't hurt to have an affidavit of permission to travel. I don't see it as a complicated instrument, but there may be a twist of family law in New York of which I am unaware (I... Read more »

I’m away from my desk as I read this, so I can’t give you citations, but the U.S. required all diplomats to obtain auto insurance after some fairly nasty accidents in D.C. in the late Eighties or early 90’s. Before then, most embassies carried insurance anyway, but it is now required.... Read more »

Following Kiobel v Royal Dutch Petroleum (and, perhaps, Jesner v Arab Bank, PLC) do district courts still have original jurisdiction over acts of piracy committed on international waters?
Probably not, unless said courts are in the same physical jurisdiction where the ship that was victimized is registered. The court of original jurisdiction is where the (non-pirate) ship is registered. For example, many cruse lines register native to the Bahamas; if one of those vessels were... Read more »

There is a minute of my life I'll never get back. Seriously, all space issues are governed by UN treaty, so no.
