Quote: “There’s no 50/50 custody sharing on different continents,” said Los Angeles-based top family law attorney Christopher Melcher, who has handled divorces involving well-off parents who hail from distant time zones.

“It’s a sad thought, but if Sophie really sees her roots in England and wants to live there, and Joe is going to live in the U.S., they can’t meaningfully share custody of kids, not when they’re living so far from each other,” Melcher said. “It really does not look good for their ability to work this out .”
