A new blog by Christopher Savoie's attorney:
Chris and Noriko raised Isaac and Rebecca as husband and wife until 2007, in Japan, at which time they decided to separate. Chris needed to move back to the States for work and Noriko followed him with the children, knowing that they would not live together.
Before she left Japan, Noriko spoke at length to a social worker in Tennessee about the divorce law in Tennessee and the financial arrangements that she could expect. They discussed the fact that Noriko planned to come with the children to live in the United States. Noriko stated that she preferred to get the divorce in America and she had many questions about the divorce process. She stated that she would remain in the United States so that both she and Chris could participate in raising Isaac and Rebecca.
Noriko promptly hired a divorce lawyer in Tennessee and divorce proceedings were promptly commenced there.
This version of the story seems to indicate that she know full well what she was getting into.
