From the article:”When the girl's father had to take custody of her in March, he discovered his daughter was pregnant.”
This would lead me to believe his wife was already an ex and that she had custody of the girl until March. There isn't much he could do if he didn't even live there. What was he supposed to do camp out in front of the house 24x7? I think you owe him an apology as he is the only sane person mentioned in the article.
