I changed my post to exclude financially neglectful because that's a different topic...

Yes, it is. She gets the kids because of gender bias in the family court so he gets to be called a deadbeat. If he got the kids, maybe she could be a deadbeat, too.

So your question was about how hard it is to get the subject of a restraining order to comply? That's like drunk driving: the driver's license is taken away but the driver continues to drive without a license. If a mother or father fails to comply with a restraining order, she or he should go to jail.

excerpt

"The timing of the announcement was calculated to reduce the boost — and airtime — Democrats were expected to receive from their national convention in Denver. McCain and Palin were to appear Friday afternoon at a rally in Dayton, Ohio. Today is McCain’s 72nd birthday."

my comment

It remains to be seen if McCain's choice scuttles the expected boost or if it adds to the boost that the Democratic convention would have provided Barack.
