The State In Family Affairs

Quebec father sued by daughter. I don't know what's what and it may be an "isolated" case but I will say a few things based on what's been reported:

1) It's a no win situation for anybody.
2) The parents need to once and for all set their differences aside before they possibly lose this
year old girl - for good.
3) The courts have effectively removed the father's power to raise her - the father didn't have sole custody but she chose to live with him. Now what?
4) Sounds as though the child was pushed by someone behind the scenes to file suit. Is she a pawn in a sad parental game?

I read some of the comments by some who assert this is not something to be concerned over. I beg to differ. This is something of serious concern. I recognize courts get involved on serious issues in family court but this seems somewhat frivolous. It comes off looking as though the state is willing to overturn parental decisions for their children.

The family unit as we know it is under duress. This much is clear.

    Many adults settle their accounts with ine another in court through their children. It is sad but it is a fact. It is irresponsible but encouraged by judgments such as the one you mention. One can wonder the judges good sense.
