A state Supreme Court justice has granted a divorced Coram woman's request to move to Florida with her son and daughter - on the condition that she set up a Skype computer program so the children can regularly see and talk with their father.
The ruling puts James Baker, a Coram construction worker who is not particularly computer savvy, in a position of having to parent by computer, said his attorney.
The director of a national divorce center said visitation via Skype - a computer program that allows video conferencing in real time - is uncommon but not unprecedented.
