Parental Access?

Question

Can anyone tell me what right I have in seeing my daughter and as to how the courts favor the fathers?

Answer 1

If you haven't been violent or abusive you will definitely get access to see her.

Be warned it may only be for a few hours a week at first if her mother is objecting to it, but once you have proved you're a good dad and no harm will come to her then you will get more time.

Its a crap system but you just have to try and be patient and put up with it, good luck!

Answer 2

I guess the best solution is one you can work out with your daughter's mother. It's better for everyone, including your daughter, if this is the case.

If you have problems getting access to your daughter, and her mother has sole custody of her, you will probably have to go to court to get a custody/visitation order. You can put what you want in this, but the judge is the one who will decide at the end of the day, and this will also take into account what is best for the child and what her mother has to say.

This is usually dealt with in a divorce, but if this is not the case, or if you were not married to the mother, then you will also have to be declared the child's father legally, if you're not acknowledged as such on the birth cert.

You're going to have to speak to a family law solicitor, the sooner the better.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Not 100% sure on this I know the courts do favour fathers some times as they did with my step-dad and his three kids. All depends on the situation. Good luck and by the way no father should be stopped from seeing his kids.

Answer 4

If you are in the UK you will only be refused access if you have a track history of violence or abuse towards the children.
Courts are very generous to fathers in my experience, it is alwats better if you can come to an arrangement before you go to court which the judge will sign and make official.

Answer 5

women get all the rights

Answer 6

laws have changed and your best bet is taking advice from your soliciitor..good luck
