If a man (my daddy) and a woman (my mommy) arent married and have a child (me) together but takes off with child. Though still in contact (but only when mommy supervises), how does the man (my daddy) get visitation rights to see his child (me) when woman (my mommy) says no? They never married and mommu said she just up and left and didnt tell daddy anything. She said back then she was really mean, and she doesnt want me around daddy? I want to see daddy and daddy wants to see me. What do I do and how can I help daddy, get visitation rights?

Mommy is under no obligation to stay in contact with Daddy until Daddy proves he is the biological father and start paying child support, THEN request a visitation schedule or joint custody. If you are in your teens and Daddy has not met this criteria, the Courts will frown on him and may not grant him anything other than COURT appointed visitation and even then, he will have to pay the fees.
Daddy needs to pony up the dough and hire a good family law attorney to meet the above criteria.
Unless you are over the age of 18, it is not up to you, it is up to Daddy if he wants to have a relationship with you to go through the Courts, establish paternity, pay child support and get a vistiation agreement through the Courts.

If he is biologically your daddy, then he has all the rights on the planet to see you. Whether they were ever married or not, all he has to do is petition Family Court, prove parentage, possibly by a DNA test, and then the court can order your mommy to allow you to see him.
In some cases, he may have to provide your transportation if it is a long way away, and the visitations may be few and far between, but no one, unless he's a horrible person, has the right to keep a child from their other parent.
How old you are has some things to do with it, too. Once you are older, say a teenager, you have a lot more say in where you get to be, even to the degree that you may choose to live with your father instead of your mother.
I wish you luck, and your dad luck with this.

daddy sues in family court for visiting rights and proves paternity with a dna test. mommy has to let you have your test taken if the judge orders it. if daddy is not trustworthy, he should be prepared to have supervised visits. and, if daddy wants parental rights, he'd better be prepared to pay child support until you're 18- 'cause mr. & mrs. john q. public are tired of paying for other people's babies.

Has he been paying child support all these years? Perhaps he is a bad person or has done something wrong that your mother wants to protect you from. You are a minor and can do nothing now. When you are of age you can try and contact your father.

Your daddy can ask the court to let him see you -- especially if the court is making him give money to help you.
