Re: Children's Rights
The child is the subject of a custody order just like the mother and the father. The Court has ordered a custody and visitation schedule and the parties are expected to abide by the order - even the children. If the child is having problems, someone should help her with those problems so that she can have an appropriate relationship with both of her parents. I am very sorry for the loss of your son.
