Again, it depends on what you consider "fairly easy." To expand on my earlier post, he'll have to fight for it: Fai is probably going to get a family attorney, who is going to present the court with Ralph's history of substance abuse and violence including a felony against a cop. The attorney is going to use every text and message between Ralph, Fai, and Pantsu where they are trying to manipulate her into a midget-horse-teenager threesome, every stream where Ralph gets sauced AF on his show, and most recently, his dumb ass trip to the Digi-hovel and the retarded bitch-fight he instigated. In short, the attorney is going to throw down a mountain of evidence that shows Ralph is a clear and present danger to a child. If Ralph wants to fight, he's going to have to get his own Family Attorney, one who can practice CA law, and prove that he is not dangerous. IMO, at best, he can only get supervised visitation. Of course, this is assuming that her attorney doesn't produce the evidence of Ralph's role in the revenge porn to the court, which would be the smartest move, because then if Ralph decides to fight, he'd have to answer questions about it under oath (free advice, Vickers, you retard...you can thank me later).
But, even if he gets supervised visitation (yes, even crack heads get to see they bay-bays), he's going to have to do the things that are ordered of him by the court, and the visitation is going to have to happen in CA. No CA family court is going to make a young mother fly across the country to take the kid for visitation. Almost certainly, there is going to be a child support order UNLESS Ralph AND the court agrees to a termination of parental rights. If I understand correctly, the termination of parental rights terminates any parental obligations with those rights, so he won't have to pay child support, but he won't have anything to do with the kid ever again.
In CA, Ralph is absolutely going to get RAPED with child support. He's going to have to show the courts that he doesn't make much money, and of course the attorney is going to show all the shit that the Kiwi's have archived where he lists his income on official docs as $70,000 per year as a internet talk show host (or some shit like that). Either way, he'll be hammered with a payment that he can't afford. If he doesn't make the payment, he'll lose any visitation agreements that the court establishes. The irony, as I see it, is that if he somehow DOES make the payments (which, lets face it, he'll not only have to do to keep visitation but also avoid other legal consequences), then he'll have to afford regular flights and lodging in CA which he probably won't be able to afford because the child support will have him drained.
From a strictly "control-of-child" standpoint, this is a difficult situation for Fai to lose. But as you said, Ralph probably won't bother. So, the Million Maker's Mark question is: if you are Fai, knowing that Ralph can't/won't pay child support, do you give him the "out" and allow him to escape any fiscal responsibility for his kid so that you don't have to ever deal with him again? Or, do you go for the big hurt, and punish him as much as possible being fairly confident that he won't be able to come around his kid anyway.
If it were me, I would opt for choice number one. But, if Vickers has her ear, being the lunatic that he is, he's probably pushing for the big hurt.
EDIT: Federal Criminal Laws of child support may come into play here. 1 year or $5k in arrears is a misdemeanor, $10k or 2 years becomes a felony. That alone is probably enough for Ralph to not risk the trouble.
