Q: Time with my daughter.My names on birth certificate and no custody case yet she refuses to let me see her. Is that legal
Hoping to find help so i can see my daughter again and hopefully get split custody. Her mother and I are still married, my names on the birth certificate. i was forced out of my daughters life by wife when we split. There is no custody case saying where my daughter is supposed to be. She refuses to let take my daughter home for a night. From the last year and half ive barely been let back in for a month just to be pushed back out again. Im hoping to set things right and get my time with my daughter before she grows up and i end up missing all of it because my wife is fighting me on my rights as a father. Just want to be there for my lil one and help teach her the beauties of life.
A: I am sorry to hear about your situation but you can make a change. You can file for an Allocation of Parental Responsibilities so that you can set a schedule for childcare and parenting time. Your spouse should not be preventing you from seeing your child absent concerns about the welfare of the child.
Tim Akpinar agrees with this answer
A: The divorce court can enter orders for custody, visitation, child support, alimony and division of property and debts. You should see a lawyer about getting this filed so you can maintain contact with your daughter.
