as a kid from a divorce i can say that having my father come see us every week for the day was far better than having him at home unhappy.
dunno what its like in the states but surely the other people involved the kindergarden school teacher, wive's doctors etc can testify what is going on. how can a week be grounds for an abondoment charge (WTF) to get that though she must have filled it almost as soon as she got there. does nobody actually check you have done a bunk or not ? 1 womans word can not be good enough surely ?
