PARENT'S RIGHTS NOW!

According to an ABC News article, a Bill is pending before the South Carolina Legislature to provide for virtual visitation between children and their "non-custodial" parent. We have yet to review the proposed legislation and, therefore, are not yet in a position to make comments. However, as a general rule, we applaud the enactment of creative legislation that makes it easier for parents to "maintain the bonds with their children." Our concern, however, is that "virtual visitation" may become a substitute for physical visitation as well as a justification for the custodial parent to relocate either out of county or out of state.
