Re: X-husband Dilemma
If no information is present it does not mean that there are no legalities present. It simply means that you do not have that information to your disposal.
And if you do not assume beyond a reasonable extent, then does it not go that no “reasonable” woman having lived through beatings and 8 years of abandonment, would, without legal compulsion, give up the safety of her child to a man that at best, is of questionable character?
I haven’t seen anybody suggest that “all is forgive”.
Nobody is saying that. You are merely interpreting in that manner.
The wife and her current husband are more than welcome to carry their grudges in their hearts and continue to hate the ex for what he did in the past. What they cannot do is prevent him from seeing his offspring, provided that he is now fulfilling his duties.
If your friend wants to punish him for what he did to her in the past, then I’m afraid that it is too late and/or she may have already made a decision on that matter by leaving him. And if she is using the daughter as a pawn, well…that will eventually backfire on her in the future too.
