ya know... it's a double standard don't ya think... I think that if you are the father and have been doing your job as a father that you you should have the same privileges as the mother! Good luck to you!

Have the two of you been to court? The courts have many remedies to address interference. These can include a make-up visit(s) for those missed, increased visitation time, fines, and even possible jail time. Some courts will find the custodial parent in contempt of the court-ordered visitation schedule. In extreme cases, the courts may remove the children from the custodial parent and place them with the other.
if your ex-spouse ruins your relationship with your children by interfering with your visitation, you can sue her in the civil courts for a tort claim.
There are some powerful benefits to filing a marital tort claim. The filing of a lawsuit will convey to your ex-wife that you mean business, and that you are not going away. The ex-wife may try to resolve the visitation dispute to avoid the costs of hiring a lawyer to respond to the lawsuit. Many times the sole purpose of filing a lawsuit is to force the parties to reach a compromise. In many cases the filing of a marital tort claim can force a settlement.
Recognize the anger and hopelessness you may feel at being left out and turned into a "visitor" to your child. HOWEVER, also recognize that the people who turned you into this "visitor" (the other parent and the adversarial family court system) are the ONLY ones who see you this way. Your children will still see you as their parent if you act like their parent.

First of all, men should and do have equal rights to their children as mothers do. Seeing your child regardless of being married to his/or her mother is irrelevant. Hire a lawyer, take her to court, let them deny you all they want, have a paternity test done, let a judge make the decision, not your child's mother or her family. Fight for your daughter and the right to see her. Don't back down, she is the one who will suffer in the end. Not you or her mother. Her mother needs to put her personal feelings aside and let you share in the responsibility of raising your daughter together. Although I don't know the whole dynamics of your situation, and hopefully your supporting your daughter and are a good role model, there should be no reason for you not to see her.

Some fathers may hate me for this but please read on after my first line. Who had the child? yea, mommy did.
so lets see, 60% mom, 40% for dad. hint hint.
BUT, before dads go haywire on me........lol
If you are a good daddy who loves your child or children then I see no point in keeping him/her/they from you.
Is the mother keeping the baby away? And did you do something for her to do that?
And one more thing... you got her pregnant, didnt marry her, How old is the child? and were you there for her?
in other words give a lot more detail, and we can probably give you more advice. I am stumped trying to see it from your and her and the childs' side.......ok?

Men have lost their rights because of liberalism and Feminist Jurisprudence that has manifested itself within the legal system, in violation of the Constitution.
We have noticed in some recent high profile rape cases, men don't have any rights either, because of so-called "rape shield laws. They are presumed guilty until proven innocent, and evidence pointing to innocence is often disallowed from being entered.

Are you competent enough to care for her? If you can create a safe environment with a loving attitude I'm sure you can persuade a judge letting you have rights over your daughter. Good luck.

Consult with a lawyer. Whether you're married to the mom or not should not matter. Good luck.

You need to go to court and ask for joint custody...
