Do the writers on Y&R ever consult real lawyers about their stories?

They play loose & hard over the decisions & lawsuits & I don't see how these cases get before a judge.Phyllis wants custody of Lucy to try to make up the time she lost with Daniel, ignoring the fact it is Daniel's decision to grow into being a good father.Men who are pushed into child rearing can become child abusers in the real world.They can't take the pressure of a crying child. Daniel also could just take Lucy & run off to NY & adopt the baby there where Phyllis wouldn't be around to interfere.You can't make a man into a father if he doesn't want to be one. This bullying action could turn Daniel against her for good. Courts will not take the rights of a parent away from a dad & give a baby to a grandmother unless the dad is unfit.(Alcoholic, drug abuser, physical abuser, or if a child abuser.) Phyllis has been in jail, lost custody of Daniel years ago, and could be in danger of never seeing Lucy again if the baby goes out of state & is privately adopted there.Parents with histories of alcoholism, drug abuse (even while the child is in labor) and courts will give the babies back to these unfit parents for they always try to keep families together. Parents do not legally have to allow grandparents to see these kids. Parents have the power over their kids that way. My step sister was not even allowed to see her grand kids (age 6 & 8) when their mother was murdered by a boyfriend. She could only speak to them once a week behind the father's back. He forbade visits even though he knew how much the murder had hurt those kids. If a parent wants to & really pushes it, he can move, & isolate the child from everyone.Courts can't make people be friends, no matter how much it hurts the kids.

    If they did, then Sharon's trial, and Kevin's chipmunk trial would have taken place in the states where the crimes occurred. Y&R has always played fast and loose with the the law in order to keep the stories flowing in the direction that the writer choose.

    I've just been shaking my head over the Lucy thing for a while now.

    Yes...just like doctors they need to consult with them for authenticity......not that they go with it because....... the s/l's are unbelievable....some of these characters should have been thrown in jail and the key should have been thrown in GC's lake.
