Q: I live in Oklahoma my daughter and baby mama are in Missouri she won't let me see her. Do I have rights to see her?
She is living with her mom or at a friend's house or a ex's house couch hoping in Missouri with my daughter I have a job house car she dont work or have a car. I have our daughter birth certificate and social card. I've contacted her millions of time asking see our daughter she won't reply back or anything can I file for custody since she's being unfit at the moment and do I have rights to see my daughter without judge and court order? Please help.
A: Since the two of you were unmarried when the child was born, you do not have rights to see your daughter without a court order. Speak to an attorney in the area where the mother and child live as soon as possible about seeking an action to declare paternal rights and establish a father-child relationship.
