Reply To: Is it ever proper to withhold a get?

The American court system is extremely biased in favor of women when it comes to divorce. I know of and have heard of cases where the wife’s family use that to their advantage and try to extort money out of the husband and take away his right to see his child/children. In those cases, yes, the husband has a right to withhold the <i>get</i> as a last resort.
