If he's not a parent, and he's in his 40s, that says quite a bit about him. Chances are he has chosen not to have kids. Maybe he doesn't want the responsibility. Maybe he didn't feel like he was cut out to look out for the best interest of a helpless child.
The type of man who puts the needs of a child before his own is usually the type of man who has kids before turning 40. I wouldn't count on him to solve this woman's problems or to save the daughter from her mother. That doesn't make him a bad guy, though. It just makes him not a great guy. Let's face it, she's probably not going to find a great guy based on the life choices she has made. Judging by her propensity to act only in her own self-interests, she probably doesn't deserve one.
