what mother knows best your ex or her mother. both of them couldnt be further from the truth, a child needs their daddy too.Get as much access as you possible can. It's a shame that in todays society that fathers dont have better rights in these situations. Men , dads , daddies, they all want whats best for their child or children. It's not always the saying ( show me the money) but unfortunently for fathers, society does. Do your self a huge favour and find your self some support and a good lawyer and fight for your rights as a father . Who know some day when your children grow up and realize how much you fought for them, they may be truly greatful and thankful to have had you there in there lives. GOOD LUCK

This is going to vary from relationship to relationship.
My husband has sole custody of his daughter, and the mother only has supervised visitation. Some situations the father has that sort of set-up. For that to occur the non-custodial parent is typically very unstable and has had other issues (drug-related, etc.)
However, we USED to have joint custody where we had his daughter 2 or 3 days during the week and then every other weekend.
I think that TYPICALLY the set-up for non-custodial parent is every other weekend. This isn't a way of punishment or anything, it's just easier for the child to not go back and forth all the time. That's so unstable and I'm sure it is hard on the children involved.
This is just something that is different for everyone, and if the mother isn't being fair in your opinion, it's expensive, but contact an attorney.

What a selfish mother your child has. The only reasonable access is 50 50, why is this woman dictating the rules, it's not about her, it's about your precious child. Doesn't this ignorant woman realise the lasting damage she may be causing the child ? Woman like this really make my blood boil. Even if she doesn't like you she must be made to understand that your child does, if she is not careful she may find herself in the future where the child hates her. I do hope that you can sort this out as soon as possible.

First of all, you have absolutely no relevant facts on which to base an opinion. So, answer the following questions:
Were the two of you married?
Was the child born to that marriage or immediately before or after?
Are the two of you Legally Separated or divorced?
If yes to the above, do you have a court order for visitation / custody?

Totally depends on your circumstances, my son sees my ex for 2hrs for his tea during the week & 4hrs on saturday morning's this is his choice, the only thing I said no to is an over night stay as my son dosent want to, he was 9mths old when my ex left, he considers my husband as his dad as he's been there for him as full time parent, since he was 3. If you are unhappy though with your arrangements you need to speak to your solicitor, but its usually up to the mother specially if the children are very young. Always remember though you should always put your kids first think of what they want and what is best for them, routine is very important, lots of back and fourth between parents I think is very disruptive. Good luck.

It should be 50-50 at all times, not literaly as in time but dads shouldbe involved with all the important stuff. I hope you and your ex-partner can work things out and do whats right for your kid/s. Anyone can be a father but it takes someone special to be a dad!

I wish you two could work it out so your child had you both 100% cause that's what your child needs and wants no doubt. Children from broken homes pay a big price for their parents immaturity.

Depends on the courts decision. If you don't agree with your wife on visitation you should go back to court and make a plea so the judge will decide. Then if she doesn't let you have your court given time, take her back to court. Fight for as much time as you can get.

Surely a good father would want to see his child more than the bare minimum.
