Fathers Rights Legal Questions

NO. Not only doesn't your mom have the right to stop you from seeing your dad, it is her JOB as a mother to foster a healthy relationship between you and your father- and court cases say so.  Your mother may have full custody, but unless there's something you're not telling me, there is a court order that gives your father visitation rights with you and your siblings. If your mother prevents you from seeing him, she is in violation of that court order.  Your mother is not allowed to use you as a weapon in her fights with your father, because that is emotionally harmful to YOU- and is considered parental interference, which could be grounds for taking away custody from your mother and giving it to your father. (In which case he wouldn't have to pay her child support- she might have to pay HIM.) Your father is the one who needs to tell your mother to stop using you and your siblings as pawns, and threaten to take her to court for violating the visitation order or even for a change of custody if she doesn't allow you to see him.  YOU should not threaten your mother with this- it's not your job. Your father shouldn't be putting you in the middle of this with his passivity. This is HIS fight. You want to see your dad, he wants to see you- just go see him.  Let your father handle your mother, and protect you from the fallout.  Feel free to show your parents your question and my response to your question, if you like.  They should know how you feel, what they should be doing/not doing to keep you out of their fights, that they should be encouraging you and your siblings to spend time with both parents, and the consequences (especially for your mother) if they don't.     ...

If you don't already have a current custody/visitation established, you will need to do so. That is the only way to utilize your parental rights through court enforcement. If you already have them established, you will need to file a contempt of court if she is violating the court order. Case like this can cost anywhere from $2,500 to $4,500 depending on who you go to. If you decide to represent yourself as a PRO SE, you can keep the costs to a minimum with a legal specialist assistance.

You need an attorney that looks out for the fathers. Because many lawyers prefer to represent women, to make it an easy case for them. Father rights are normally neglected. Let her do what she wants, you will always be the child father if it's your DNA. When the child is born, even if she does not put you on the birth certificate, don't force her, just inform her that you are the father and the child deserves your name. If she refuses and put someone else, it will make her look bad in court when you petition for a paternity test and the court put you on the birth certificate. This way you will have an advantage in the case and she will look bad and most likely who you hire as your attorney, if its us, we may even be able to fight to get you custody of the child and win. :) Make sure you know when the child is going to be born, at what hospital, and her current address. You should serve her for paternity 2 days after the child is born and she put someone else on the birth certificate. Call my office for a free consultation.

Did the court order require you to pick up the child or is it something that the children mother started to do with you? You are not liable to do that unless you both feel to do so without a court order. If you can manage to pick them up, you can use this as a quality time spent on going or coming from school. If you really can't pick them up because you need rest, then you should simply be straightforward. I highly doubt that she will want to go to court just to get you to pick the kids up from school. If that does happen, contact me and we will work to resolve things. Above answer and comments to questions are for general purposes only and does not constitute legal advice or establishes an attorney-client relationship without a signed retainer.

Who allowed the move? Was the move legal? Usually in custody cases, one can not leave the state or city without permission from the other parent or court. If she went without permission, we can get the court to bring her back, if she refuses they can bring the child back. I want to know if this is parental kidnapping or not? Please contact my office when you have time to go over the case details.... Read Answer
