Kim Basinger will go to trial after pleading not guilty Wednesday to disregarding court orders concerning ex-husband Alec Baldwin's visitation rights with their daughter, a court official ordered.It is alleged that Kim Basinger ignored court orders by not letting her ex-husband know she would be out of town working so that he could take care of their 10-year-old daughter until she returned. On one occasion, Basinger also did not tell Baldwin their daughter, Ireland, was injured and required medical help, according to the court papers.
The Academy Award-winning actress faces up to 60 days in jail and a £24,000 fine if convicted of all counts. Baldwin, 48, and Basinger, 52, separated in 2000 after seven years of marriage.
EPC COMMENT:
Apparently the courts in LA, California take contact denial seriously. This is a far cry from the way British courts work. Our family courts would, of course, support Basinger in her campaign to exclude the father from their child's life and would villify Alec Baldwin for using the courts to try and stay a meaningful part of his daughter's life!

I think she should be punished and should go to jail for this unnacceptable selfish use of the children. Mothers go to jail here for not paying there fines. Its time this government woke up and classed this as child abuse. There are thousands of maily dads, sadned, angry, helpless and feeling hopeless because of this kind of alienation with no one to turn to for help. Isnt is time this was regognised.
