That is being too generous in your assumption. Family courts go above and beyond to try to maintain relationships between parents and children. If this guy wasn’t a part of his children’s lives it’s either because he chose not to be or because he was so abusive that a judge decided that it was in the child’s best interest to keep him away. Short of kidnapping one spouse can’t unilaterally cut the other out of the children’s lives after a divorce.
