[QUOTE="klmno, post: 542387, member: 3699"] Where my son was conceived, it is considered the best interest of the child to have both parents in his/her life. So what you are saying about the mother's behavior and so forth and that nothing can be done unless a PI is hired to prove her unfit- that would work both ways. The father would have the same rights to visitation, whatever, unless he was proven unfit- even if he owed 10's of thousands of child support and never paid a dime. In a way I can see the concept but in another way it seems like a bandaid solution to me. I do agree that a child's best interest is really served by knowing and having some sort of relationship with both parents- it's not supposed to be an either-or when it comes to a child and the parents. on the other hand, common sense should prevail at some point. I guess that's where evidence in front of a judge comes in. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
