Guardianship
Visitation rights through video-conferencing—Entitlement—Child is living with his mother in Ireland and seems to be settled there—Request of father to interact with his son regularly through video-conferencing appears to be both fair and necessary—Every child has a right to the affection of both parents—Even if parents live apart or in different countries, it is important for the child to maintain a relationship with both of them—Denying such contact would deprive the child of love, guidance, and emotional support of the father—Father’s request for video interaction is reasonable—It balances the reality of the child’s present living situation with the need to ensure that the father remains a part of the child’s life—Father held entitled to interact with his son through video conferencing for two hours on every alternate Sunday—Other directions issued to the parties to cooperate and resolve technical and logistical difficulties if occurred in arranging the video sessions.
