Would You Accept a Courts Decision For You to Never See Your Kids?

You'd be amazed at how far parents have to go for the courts to make such an order. My wife's family used to take in abused foster children and 99% of the time the birth parents will eventually get them back if they want them. Even those that were horribly abused to the point where the children had broken bones and cigarette burns and who were terrified to have to go back and live with the parents. It's kind of ****ed up really. So if you did **** up so bad that the court ordered you to NEVER see your kids, then there is probably a pretty good reason. 99% of us will never have to worry about something like that happening.
What does get really effed up sometimes though is when you have birth parents who put their kid up for adoption and then after a year, when the adoptive family has nurtured and fallen in love with the child, the birth parents sometimes change their mind and try to get the kid back. And then depending on what state you live in (or country I suppose) a bitter custody battle can ensue...

I don't have kids but I would have to break to court order. I'm sure it would just land me in more trouble but your kids are your kids and as long as you are a fit parent, you should always be allowed to see them.

Originally posted by AKATheMack View PostI think its actually harder to take the children from both parents than it is for one parent to receive full custody. Thats more what I was referring to I should have made that clear. It is also a lot more difficult to get a court to enforce regular visitation than it is to get them to enforce child support payments.
Think about this. If a woman gets knocked up and wants to keep the kid, the father has absolutely no say in the decision AND he is forced to pay 18 years of child support. If the father wants to keep the kid and the mother wants to abort, again it is her body and she makes the decision. Period, end of conversation. This is one area where gender equity in the law really falls flat on it's face.
I have a friend who got his girl pregnant and she flew across the country, had the kid and never even contacted my buddy to let him know when the kid was being born or where she lived. He had to hire a P.I. and now gets visitation, but he has to fly cross country every time he wants to see his daughter and the ***** is constantly trying to get the child support increased.
