This is not new. You have plenty of divorced people out there who are forbidden from homeschooling their children and controling them, and, yet, when the kid at the other end of the country does something wrong, he owes “child support”.
The government considers this guy a serf who lost ownership but not ties to his property. The government wants its money and control now and automatically. It’s retarded but this is what we get under communism and blocking others from doing business.
I doubt if property codes have “evolved” to the point that family law has. It sounds like a screw-up of records that could be cleared in court without a whole lot of ado.
