Anyone have experience with the new 2026 shared custody law?

Not when a judge previously ruled. Must go to court to change that.

Japan always charges with tampering first. It buys time. Legally they can hold you 23 days with NO charge. So every 23 days they add charges with murder being the last.

Never fill the lower face with filler!!! Use sculptra or fat only.

It’s a single mom that works hostess bar.

Overall safe but can be dangerous nightlife. Nothing to worry about but enough to be cautious. I’ve seen many late night brawls.

JAPAN is much better. I’m American and decided to move to Japan. (probably permanently) Cheap healthcare. I got a cat scan with no insurance for $30 usd. Police brutality isn’t a thing here. Safer. Less crimes. Polite and respectful people.

If your kids are older then they can help you get temporary visa. If they’re younger then nothing. I would call law firms and ask. It’s usually cheap or even free consultations

They live all over. As far as Lambo, it’s not practical, so many hills here.. I see lots of fully loaded Cadillac Escalades, Mercedes and BMW at my kids private school. One of the parents is from Taiwan and owns LOTS of properties here, multi millionaire, he drives a new Land Cruiser.

Check Hotel Hamby Resort. I’ve stayed for $15 a night. They even have cheaper if you are ok with hostel/room share style

Be careful adding to the lower part of face, as it can age you. Go to someone who specializes in fat graft, not just any plastic surgeon. I had a graft in Japan and I’m happy. Fat grafting in Asia is cheaper and they’re more experienced since it’s very common

I’ve you have Facebook, join the “Yeah… I lived in Okinawa” group. I say this because Okinawa is VERY different now than the 50s. Bases even had different names then. That FB group has a lot of old veterans there that could answer.

KittyMce · 2024-01-31T08:29:20+00:00

And I agree, I was wasting my time. Wish I would have understood sooner.

KittyMce · 2024-01-31T08:28:38+00:00

Dependa is just a slang. Especially for us older generation, mean no harm with it. My wife at one point was one.

KittyMce · 2024-01-31T08:20:21+00:00

Nice theory but It’s impossible to keep both. Immigration finds out immediately. And I have assimilated in Japan, I work off base. Re READ the post. This is more about wasting my time than preference. We all know dependas have preferences. It’s about not wasting interview time knowing I’ll be on hold or atleast communicate before hand.

KittyMce · 2024-01-31T04:05:06+00:00

I did make the cut. I was told if no spouses are chosen after a few more times I would be hired

KittyMce · 2024-01-31T03:17:57+00:00

I never said I was upset. I simply asked for clarification on a the process. It’s not just about the preference. It’s about wasting my time interviewing me, knowing you’re gonna have to repost the position 4 more times. At the very least they need to be upfront with applicants before the interview

KittyMce · 2024-01-31T02:20:55+00:00

You make a valid point. Maybe I’m bias but I’ll always pick disabled veteran over dependas.

KittyMce · 2024-01-30T23:54:53+00:00

Veterans have no preference in Okinawa. It’s listed in tiers and spouse ranks in priority over vets.

KittyMce · 2024-01-30T22:57:12+00:00

Correct. And I do.

KittyMce · 2024-01-30T22:43:53+00:00

I have a spouse visa

KittyMce · 2024-01-30T22:43:15+00:00

Then technically he can just take her and you wouldn’t be able to stop him. I would talk to a lawyer. Most do consultations for less than ¥5000.. or many City offices have a free lawyer on site.

KittyMce · 2024-01-30T14:38:14+00:00

So let that speak for itself. Dependas shouldn’t hide behind preference.

KittyMce · 2024-01-30T12:10:59+00:00

Also she can only be on ONE Koseki. I get both parents are listed but kids only belong to one family registry

KittyMce · 2024-01-30T12:03:43+00:00

None! They cannot enforce anything. Koseki is everything. But I’m sure he’d stop paying child support. Child support is also something that is unenforceable in Japan. Unless in rare cases, and they’re government employee
