That makes no sense. She allows him to see his child, and therefore she feels obligated not to take him to court to get child support payments? Either way, you make a great case that this child is not in a good situation, and probably would have been better off in an adoptive environment.
Yes she allows him to see the son, because if she didn't, he'd try to sue for custody, and not because he LOVES the boy so much either (again, he's very spiteful). As far as her not feeling obligated to take him to court...well it's not that, it's just that she hasn't. I have no idea why. She tends to be all smoke and no fire, if you get my drift. She'll say that she's going to do whatever, and doesn't do it.

And yes, this child would have been better off in a more stable relationship/home.
