Hard to enforce

As reported in The Australian:
THE Family Court is allowing mothers to leave the country with their children, provided they agree to sign up for the internet-based video telephone service Skype.

A compulsory subscription to Skype, which allows parents to see their children on the computer screen while talking to them, has been a feature of 10 Family Court cases this year.
Um, how likely is it that this is enforceable from the other side of the world?

Still, I suppose that if the court is convinced a parent should be allowed to relocate to another country (especially if they only moved here because of marriage), I guess it is better for them to at least try to promote video chats than not.
