Fathers should be allowed in their own children's lives. Thank you for printing such an important article ["After the divorce, the pain for noncustodial dads goes on and on," June 20] on Father's Day. The commentary stated that 5 million American children have their access to the noncustodial parent interfered with or blocked by the custodial parent each year. Is that looking out for the best interest of the children, or is it looking out for the best interest of having "control"? Fathers go to court, many times spending thousands of dollars just wanting the courts to listen. They want to see their children; they want the custodial parent to stop interfering with visitation.

LOS ANGELES -- A Los Angeles man paid $300,000 to settle a child support lien against him, marking the largest collection in a single case, the Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department announced Thursday. CSSD teamed with child support officials in Wisconsin -- where the now 15-year-old child and custodial parent live -- to collect the payment from the man, who was not identified. "We are extremely pleased with this record collection, especially since the case reflects what we do for thousands of families and children daily on a smaller scale," said CSSD Director Philip Browning.
