In 2006, a child was allegedly kidnapped by his mother's father after a custody dispute.
But he said the custody dispute was not the place to resolve them.
This custody dispute really began before the children were born.
He said they are involved in a custody dispute over their young son.
Should children his age have a say in custody disputes, let alone matters of political asylum?
"We still would have favored the mother in the custody dispute because the situation with the father was worse."
He had been in a custody dispute with his former wife.
Some states set 16 as the age when courts must follow the wishes of children in custody disputes between two parents.
The custody dispute was resolved at the end of November.
Investigators were looking into whether a custody dispute played a role.
