British Judge Sends Kids to Australia With Mom, Tells Dad Skype is Good Enough

In an amazing and sickening case of non-custodial parent abuse, a top British judge has astoundingly allowed a mother to move children away to Australia while telling the father to use Skype -- an Internet communication service -- to stay in touch.

That judge is Sir Nicholas Wall, the fop pictured at right, who is the President of the UK court's Family Division. Judge Wall's bizarre statement came about as his final judgment of an appeals case after an earlier judge forbid the mother involved to move her pre-teen children to Australian on a whim. The father, a Devon man, had argued that such a move would damage the "embryonic" relationship with his children.

No word yet on whether the non-custodial dad will have to pay child support while his kids are exiled Down Under. However, we'd be willing bet a tub of Lancashire hotpot that the dad's income will be getting a lot more government attention than his visiting time.
