VIRTUAL PARENTING ORDERS IN USA
USA - Divorce put David List and his 2-year-old daughter on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and he worried that she would soon forget him.She hasn't, though. List secured an order allowing him "virtual contact" -- the chance to talk with his daughter via a webcam over the internet– they now usually connect at least twice a week.
However, it is feared that USA judges might use the option of virtual visitation as justification for ordering fewer real contact - as UK judges do with contact-centre visitation.
Another divorced dad, Michael Gough, who fought in the courts to eventually win a virtual contact order after his daughter moved away, said "I saw her first loose tooth. I saw her haircut, new outfits -- things you want to see on a daily basis but you can't in person because you're a divorced parent".
