This has happened to different degrees to several friends that left the church. One egregious example resulted in a father that only had the opportunity to visit his children a few times over a decade. As this man is a close friend, I have a detailed understanding of what he did for his children.
Not only did the mother make it hard to visit (e.g. moved over 1,000 miles away, refused to return phone calls); the TBM mother continually spread rumors that he was not providing for his children and was not paying child support as ordered by the courts. In an attempt to defend himself he opened his financial records to two close friends. This man was paying what would be considered nearly 100% of his children's financial needs. He also provided additional resources to his children over and above what was legally required. This did not stop this temple recommend holding, church serving, TBM mother from smearing his name at every opportunity.
The visitation issue is very difficult and although it is nice to say that visitation is enforceable, enforcement can turn into expensive and difficult legal battles in many cases. This woman's church leaders worked with her in creating these problems for my friend.
In short, TSCC does not care what damage it causes to families in an attempt to prop up the endless stream of lies.
