parent in truth and fact

Definitions from Case Law
United States Supreme Court
The District Court's findings sharply reveal that William Baumet long before his son's death had 'abandoned his son' and ceased to be a parent in truth and fact. He may not now retrieve the discarded paternal robes to lay claim to the policy proceeds; to rule otherwise would foil the plain intent of the 1942 amendments.
Defined by the Supreme Court in - Baumet v. United States, 344 U.S. 82 (1952).
