Now, technology has added a new twist. A recent New Jersey ruling set a precedent that paves the way for "virtual visitations" in cases in which a custodial parent seeks to move away from the area where the "ex" lives. Advocates of the practice say online contact -- through Web cams, instant messaging and e-mail -- is a constructive way for noncustodial parents to stay in contact with their kids. Fathers-rights boosters beg to differ. They argue that online technology can never replace a hug.
