I have a 2 year old daughter who i have not been able to locate for about a year and a half. The mother is being vengeful. I am totally up to date on my child support. I have provided insurance for about a year now but still no contact. I have never had any problems with my other daughters visitation. Just asking if anyone knew of any agency that helps fathers rights. I know the lawyer route but even with a court order she doesnt have to comply. Plus many times the lawyer is not willing to stick there "neck out" very far to actually help. Tried the dhs where my child support goes to but they inform me they are only there for support not visitation. Any info on agencies or groups would b appreciated

Look at your divorce papers. The child support and visitation is completely separate. You should have stated on your papers your visitation orders. If you have on your divorce papers that you can visit with your child, then your ex has to comply. The only reason the courts would ever deny visitation is if you were a physical danger to your daughter, even then, you can still have supervised visits (even overnight). If you don't even know where your daughter is your ex is frustrating your rights and can even be charged with kidnapping! You can get the custody arrangement changed through the court.
Not that I don't believe you, but if you are on the up and up, then I wish you good luck. My ex is the exact opposite. He hardly pays for anything, never helps out, and still has the right to see his kids. It's ridiculous. (If you are not on the up and up, then it is better for you not to be in your daughter's life.) But, hopefully, your ex isn't a complete psychopath and will realize that regardless of your relationship w/her, your daughter deserves to have both parents in her life.
Sorry you have to go through this. Again, good luck and check out this website:

Oh that is far from true, My daughter in law has so many problems with her daughters dad, he wont let off, he keeps suing for custody, she has to see her dad twice a year, because they live 1000 miles away and the airplane tickets are huge, you are the dad and have rights to see her. fight for it, I believe in it both ways. the child should see both parents, my daughter in law even feels the same way, just dont let it be a problem between you and the mom, that is not good for the kids.
