Q: My wife and I are separated and she is no longer letting me see my daughter what can I do?
My daughter is 8 months old. I am on the birth certificate. We are still legally married we are in the process of getting a divorce. we are not living together. She used to let me see my daughter on my days off work. but she all the sudden stopped because she is paranoid that I'm going to keep my daughter and not return her. so she is no longer letting me take my baby. There is no custody established. we have not gone to court for the child. we are just both on the birth certificate. Can she get away with this? What can I do? I want my baby.
A: Call an attorney and they can help work with you get some temporary court orders that will allow you to see your child while the divorce is pending.
