Hmmm! American courts favor woman. Woman goes to Israel to taunt the father a second time? Goes around comes around.
Woman goes to Israel to taunt the father? Where do you get that? Does not the woman have a right to visit her family in her place of birth where the family still lives? Would you say these words about an Christian American-Arab woman whose child was being detained in an Islamic country by their religious court?
No, American courts favor joint custody. However, the American court in this case was not ruling on a divorce case, but a termination of parental rights/adoption case, some of th elements of which are 1) the bio-dad has notice and 2) the abandonment of the child in the absence of his consent to the adoption.
You wouldn’t believe the calls we field with loving fathers -sarc- wanting to voluntarily terminate their rights so they don’t have to pay child support.
