A Sad Story on Father's Day

When I get to the courthouse, I tell people that I try not to use the expression, "Now, I've seen everything," because it is *very* bad luck. A few weeks ago, I got a Civil Protection Order for a woman whose baby daddy (call me old fashioned, but I think it is an *excellent* idea for people to get *married* before bringing children into the world) was causing some *very* serious problems. The judge ordered that he had to stay away from my client, but still had the right to see his kid one day a week. Baby momma was to drop the kid off at the nearest police station, baby daddy picks the kid up, and drops the kid off eight hours later. On Father's Day, well before noon, I got a call from the baby daddy. He informed me that he was not interested in seeing his kid any more- and that it was all my fault. His logic completely escapes me. Io all fathers reading this who have *not* abandoned your kids, give yourself a pat on the back.
