Also, in many countries, child protection services can preemtively declare you an unfit parent and place your children in foster care, pending a decision from a judge, which may well take months.

The mother can simply claim you're violent, or otherwise unfit to be a parent, and hey-presto you're fucked.

- DanBC 9y agoYour comment is irrelevant to the claim made, which was > in many countries, child protection services can preemtively declare you an unfit parent and place your children in foster care, pending a decision from a judge, For a child to be placed in foster care in Australia either the parent has to agree or a judge makes a decision. It's not possible for a child to be placed in foster care without either of those.
