.

So not only would the rapist get visitation, but they leave their victim on the hook
financially and still have access to the kid without any penalties. Then, to make matters
even worse, everything demands court action, and time away from work or parenting.
There would be further battles over supervised visitations and who would supervise.
This is going to be decades of shit.

Most courts don't put deadbeats in jail, so there is really no penalty for not at least providing money.

It just makes the rapist less responsible for the rape itself, imho.

regardless of distance.

It would seem that the theoretical person in the original post has nobody.

Who is the hypothetical person? The woman that was raped? The child?

And what do you mean by rescue? That the unwanted rapist is somehow rescuing the situation?

Edit: This is about a court deciding that the rapist gets shared custody, even if the woman understandably would never want to deal with him. It's not about a woman and child desperate for help to support them.

I have been tutoring English, math or computer science since Feb 1980.

I use short sentences with short words for those who are not native speakers such as my honorary god daughter. I don’t list each and every detail in a chain of logic. I can incorrectly choose a word while typing on a small phone with a fat thumb.

2 of my friends were “sent” to hospital by their husbands with bone fractures. One of them had a nationally known employer until his death.

One friend was told by her husband to take a taxi to the hospital for a birthing. He stayed home.

Sometimes I get a text message showing bruises. I am not allowed to interfere.

There are likely several victims of FGM within a few hundred meters of me. About 12 kilometers north , prevalence and poverty goes up a lot.

There’s a girl in my area who is essentially homeless, I am told. It turns out I paid for some of her meals indirectly. She has no way to pay school tuition.

My only normal allowed daily duty is to set a good example. I get asked for money frequently.

I had an honorary girlfriend. Her ex husband hid their son from her for 20 plus years. She died alone from cancer. I didn’t know until somewhat recently that she liked me.
