The only rights he has is what the judge has given him. Every other weekend is usually the standard visitation allowed. However, when I divorced my son's alcoholic father, I feared for his safety and did not agree with that. I asked for reasonable and liberal visitation rights and was awarded that. That means just what it says and it doesn't give him the right to keep him for unspecified times, overnight or whatever. It leaves it more to your discretion.

Unless his father is abusive and can harm him, then you don't have any right to keep your son from knowing and having a relationship with his father. That's not healty for his emotional development, especially because he's a boy that really needs a father's figure. If there's anything in his father that you believe it can harm your son, then talk to his father about that. If he doesn't want to change, then you may talk to a child counsellor.

he has the right to see his son and to spend time with him. but if you say anything out of the way to him he might go to court and try to take your son away form you because he is married and you are a single mother. he can go to court and say all kinds of lies for he wont have to pay child support

as the father of the child he has the right to see his son, but if you feel that he is not safe then you can try to get either full custody of your child or whatever the other one is.

Your son and his father should be based on their love. If you don't allow their love to grow then you will change their life. You can't throw your own pain towards him to change their relationship. If your son's father is true in your heart then you will probably need legal rights if possible.

if they are not in danger, whether you have it set legally or not, he should get the kids every other weekend. he should not feel like he can just pick him up whenever he wants at a moment's notice or anything like that. legalize it if you have to. ( even if he is not paying child support he still has the right to see him, legally they are two seperate issues)

Your parental rights come diretly from your court order for custody and visitation; if you haven't got one, do it.
