Facebook Bigamist case
Andrew Zashin gained national attention with his involvement in a case that became known as the “Facebook Bigamist”, France v. France ). This was the first high profile case where a woman, Lynn France discovered that her husband, John, married another woman on the second wife’s, Amanda’s, Facebook page. It became an international scandal. Andrew Zashin appeared on many domestic and international media outlets with his client including the Today Show, CNN, Anderson Cooper as well as in print media. In September 2019 Andrew Zashin appeared on the Court TV program "Think Tank" as legal commentator for the case of Ohio v. Richardson.
International Family Law
Zashin developed an International practice group to augment the Family Law group’s familiarity with the subject matter it had gained over time. Most importantly, the firm tried the case known as Monasky v. Taglieri which will be the fourth case heard by the Supreme Court of the United States concerning the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. Previously, this case was only the second Hague Convention on Child Abduction case to be heard en banc in history (by the entire panel of judges because of its exceptional public importance) by a US Court of Appeals). The Monasky case will be the first case in which the United States Supreme Court will substantively address the meaning of the definition of Habitual Residence as contemplated by The Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.
