Oh GAWD...God No! The parents divorce one another, not their child(ren). Unfortunately, some parents do seem to "disconnect" from their children following divorce. There are a number of reasons given for this. However, in most cases, parents typically remain within the same community.

States, by virtue of the many statutes they have on the books, are rightly justified in ensuring that children continue to receive financial support from both parents after a seperation and breakup of the family. Children ought not to become "dependents" of the State. Yet, once the appropriate Court Orders are in place to ensure continued financial support, very little is done beyond that to ensure continued, uninterrupted physical contact with the parent that no longer lives in the "marital" home.

Sure, there is a mechanism in place to try to enforce ones "visitation" rights in Oklahoma County. But, the Courts look at this in much the same way they do the "blue" laws (it is against the law to eat a vanilla ice cream cone on the sidewalk, in front of a Church, on Sundays). The law is not enforced.

And who suffers...the child.
