- ALM GL ch. 273, § 8. Child and Spouse — Want of Custody of Child No Defense.
In proceedings under sections one or fifteen against a parent, relative to any minor child, it shall not of itself be a defence that the defendant has ceased to have custody or the right to custody of such child on his own acquiescence or by judicial action.
