Prayers and advise.

Prayers for you all...
My biggest piece of advice is to be very careful what you say to a 7 year old about this. I'm not saying tell her something that makes him look better...but please be careful how she is told he is letting her go. I can't even imagine the long term hurt that could cause her.

well said.

I've been sitting here trying to say this, but couldn't figure out how....

Aweful situation. Prayers up. Cant fathom a dad abandoning his daughter. I too think he needs to have his feet held to the fire.

As of right now she knows nothing of what's goin on. She just knows she cannt see him.

So much to say about this, but not thing is good and not one that will your situation. While I fell sorry for this little girl, it seems she is where she belongs and will be fine. Praying for her, you and your wife.

Bad as the situation is, in the long run, having somebody with those values around your daughter would be decidedly worse. Prayers sent.

Prayers going up that God's will be done.

From what I understand, a parent can't terminate parental rights to get out of paying child support. He will have to present another reason to the court.

Good point.

Contact some of the local child advocacy groups and see if they have any pro bono lawyers that can help you out. Best of luck to you.

I have no advice, but I can pray to the one who can bring peace out of a tragic & sad situation.
