[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In some cases a dad may feel the family is better off without his presence. [/quote]

That is a very sad truth and one which many people don't recognize.

Kids can be told BY OTHERS (mom, mom's family) that a dad isn't interested in them, that kids aren't his priority, and kids are better off with mom and her new partner who is WONDERFUL.  It's not a far stretch before kids are acting up, throwing tantrums and not wanting to see dad.

Rather than cause stress and upset to kids, some dads figure it's better to deal with his own heartache than cause problems for his kids. That's why some of them check out. [/quote]

This is very true and I see this in family court all day. Some women I represent exaggerate stuff and will do(including emotional abuse to their kids) anything to get even with their ex. They don't realize that it is hurting their kids more than anything. I see that some of these women have more hatred for their ex than the love for their kids.
