and i have relatives who are up to date, provide more food and clothing that the custodial parent, and the courts still refuse to enforce visitation.....what about immoral mothers, they should face prison just as the “deadbeat dads” do...and maybe the dads are deadbeats because they do not get to see their children.....
Another ploy women use, in addition to crying physical and sexual abuse, is to take the children and not allow the father to see them so that when they do go to court the status quo is that they are living with mother and the judge will only give the fathers EOW and one dinner night during the week because they don’t want to disturb the routine of the children, it doesn’t usually matter that the mother withheld the children either.
A father still has the responsibility to support his kids, even if the mother does not let him see them.
