After 9 years he tells you he doesn't have time for his family anymore and wants to concentrate on his work how often should he see his daughter?

Answer 1

Well if that isn't complex...The answer will be more advice than factual information. I would say it all depends. If the man is simply too busy, (working all the hours he doesn't sleep), then I could see the trouble. He simply can't raise a family unless he quits his job. On the other hand, if he wants to work more than see his family and it's apparent that he has plenty of spare time, then I would suppose he shouldn't even want to see his daughter.

If you are talking about being divorced, and how often he should visit, once again it depends. First of all, remember his daughter should have a say. Second, if he was never abusive or anything, and he claims to miss and love his family, he should be able to visit very frequently. If he has verbally mistreated her, then I always say: people deserve a second chance, but never a third. If he has otherwise mistreated/abused her or anyone in the immediate household, he should not visit often at all, as he is a bad role model and always a potential danger.

I hope my advice goes over well, just pick the circumstances that best suits the situation and use your judgment combined with mine to come up with your solution.
