Alleged interference with the peaceful transfer of a child to a parent for legal visitation was not taken lightly by Bracken Circuit Court Judge John W. McNeill, Friday.

After traveling for nearly four hours to pick up his child for visitation in Brooksville, Jack Brown told officials he was met by a group of people, allegedly associated with the child's mother, who had other ideas. His attorney had photographs as evidence.

When Mary Karen Kordish told McNeill that she had not been told by him (McNeill) to bring her child to Brown for his visitation time alone, McNeill reminded her that the previous proceedings had been video-taped.

"Do you want to see the tape?" he asked Kordish.

Except, those 25,000,000 children weren't exactly abandoned by their fathers since over 80% of the divorces are filed by women, who get custody 90% of the time. Or the fact that fathers pay child support in full 90% of the time when both parents are awarded joint custody. Modify that to visitation "privileges," and the rate drops to 78%. Take away all fatherly contact and that's when the deadbeat dads show up--only 40% pay support.
