Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court December 15, 2003 (Mandel v. Mandel)

Sarah Fitzpatrick Mandel appeals from an order of a single justice of this court denying her petition pursuant to G. L. c. 215, § 23, for an emergency stay of a Probate and Family Court order.1 That order enforced a Maryland custody order that granted sole custody of two minor children to their father, Marc E. Mandel, and denied Sarah visitation.
