1 It appears from the Family Court’s decision in this child custody/visitation case that the child is unaware of her father’s existence. Indeed, in its bench ruling, the Family Court recognized that before long the child’s mother will need to address this issue. We too encourage her to explain to the child that she has a father who has expressed an interest in her life.
