Well, he should try and get to know this child. If he hasn't up intil now and it is clear he hasn't since no visitation is ordered for him at this time. I think that is sad. Thing is, this child is 10. If he hasn't tried to be involved up till now it really isn't fair to the child for him to file a full visitation suit and go for the max. I think his best route is to slowly get to know this child and involve him with his family. And than maybe over time he can visit more often and feel more confortable with his dad. I would hope that Ted would do this. If he doesn't what a putz!
Ted's family might have other ideas about him getting to know this child. If I were one of Ted's teenage children, I wouldn't welcome a bastard child into my life with open arms. I wouldn't want anything to do with him and wouldn't want him around because it would hurt my Mom.
