Top 500 list of custodial parents that violated father’s visitation court order by longest jail time received

A long time ago on a messageboard far far away....

I actually challenged a pre-law feminist to a $5 bet to find any court case where a woman was sent to jail for visitation violation. I even put $20 on it if she could find me a sentence over a month.

I kept the $20. I did give her the $5 tho. She was able to find two court cases: one which the woman was jailed for a weekend, and another where the woman was sentenced to a week in jail, but she could get out early if she wrote an apology.

Having both parents present in a child's life is arguably much more important than a transfer of money. And yet, all the states uniformly choose to enforce CS money shuffles with an iron fist, and at best give a half-effort to father's rights if he jumps through the proper hoops.

I've never heard of a jail term for violating the custody order, but I HAVE heard of custody being granted to the other parent when the custodial parent (usually the mom) flagrantly disobeys the order. It has to be flagrant, though.

Subtle political commentary?

Well, on a related but "opposite note" I suppose I can say that that same image applies for Connecticut, with the label of "people I know that have been given jail time because I have witnessed them violate court orders related to custody and visitation."

Because I know of just that person - who SHOULD be in jail for what I have seen him do, but our system sucks.

Oh, and that person? A man.

Me? Also a man.

Let me give the "men's rights look of disapproval"
