Hi,
Do you know the address where the children live in Finland? How old are your children?
I can help you apply for joint custody either amicably or, if necessary, through the district court.
We can also request visitation rights in the United States or even U.S. citizenship if applicable.
Our hourly rate for handling the matter is €320. To begin the assignment, we require an advance payment of €1,500.
How does that sound?
Best regards,
Päivi Riutta
