 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.  

I was going to ask you about who the father was, but it's obviously 
not him.  


 CS> She's trying to use Japan
 CS> courts to also keep his kids from his previous marriage.  Technically

Is that possible to do there?  

 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.  

Paying his ex-wife or his soon to be ex-wife?   

 CS> 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). 

It sounds as if she's the one getting the reasonable support.  

 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. 

That's completely absurd.  I've heard of nasty positions to be in, 
but that sailor has one of the worst I've heard of.  My condolences 
to him.
