 DC>> Kids do have rights.  But, they should not supercede proper
 DC>> parental rights.  I know of too many disenfranchised dads that
 DC>> have not just lost visiting privileges but have gone to jail
 DC>> for being a proper parent.

 CS> Agreed.  On disenfranchised Dads, I have one in my shop.  His ex-wife
 CS> is Japanese.  He came home after an 8.5 month deployment to find her 4
 CS> months pregnant and wanting a divorce.  She's trying to use Japan
 CS> courts to also keep his kids from his previous marriage.  Technically
 CS> she's not 'ex' yet but she moved back to Honshu.  He had to get court
 CS> orders to send his kids back to his first wife (San Diego) and he's
 CS> paying her child support.  Fortunately the situation with the first
 CS> wife is a good one. (Just couldnt handle Navy life, wasnt set for the
 CS> kids alone at the divorce but is now recently widowed from her second
 CS> husband and set for such, just needs help with the money).

 CS> The problem is the guy's second wife wants to be paid child support
 CS> too, for his previous kids, and the one comming.

Over here carol, we'd call that Excessive Greed... I never figured out how
people could to that...
