Dear Abby Lawyer Advice On Divorce And Kissing
Dear Abby answers two reader questions. One asks whether a separated husband who wants weekends with the children and a girlfriend should be allowed access and how alimony and tax exemptions should be handled. The other asks about mouth to mouth kissing between relatives and children versus lovers. Abby cautions against weekend visits with the father and girlfriend and endorses consulting a lawyer for financial terms. She notes that mouth kissing among lovers may be more justifiable than between parent and child and warns of hygienic concerns.
