[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because she has full custody, she was able to put her child in a psychiatric facility and not inform the other parent? I didn't realize that was possible. Did the other kids not know where he was? Didn't they inform their father? [/quote]

This is the part that makes no sense. Ive worked a lot of custody cases.  Unless your rights are terminated you have a responsibility to keep healthcare and educational decisions duel informed.  So even if Kate can make all the decisions she would have had to report his enrollment status to John assuming he had parental rights. He doesn't need custody to have access to this information. [/quote]

There is a lot about the “Kate is evil, Jon is an innocent victim” narrative that makes no sense when you have any understanding of the law.[/quote]

Hmm idk. My oldest kid is from a former marriage and his dad never sees him and isn’t involved in his life whatsoever. Even though he has parental rights, there’s a lot that’s happened  in my kid’s (now a teen) life that he’s never consented to, was informed of or knows about. He doesn’t know my child and would never make an informed decision in his best interest, even if he wanted to, because he knows nothing about my son.

Now I’m not saying that Jon is the same kind of father. And considering that Collin now lives with him, he clearly wanted to be involved. But if I was able to make all types of decisions without my son’s dad’s permission or knowledge, I’m sure it’s possible.[/quote]
But you admit that was because his dad chose to absent himself from his kid’s life, not because you blocked access.  Even if you were making all of the decision, he would have had a right to information, and could have taken you to court to at least find out, for instance, which institution you’d had your child admitted to.  He’s claiming he tried to stay involved but that Kate prevented him from getting that information, which doesn’t pass the smell test.  Either he couldn’t get the information because he’d lost/given up his parental rights, or he could have gotten the information but chose not to.[/quote]
