Q: What can I do? I have 8 year old daughter. We live in Illinois.
My daughter was born in 2010. I was there for the birth but left the hospital to go buy some stuff for the baby.When I came back the ex girlfriend had filled out all the paperwork for the birth certificate.Years later I came to find out she didnt add me on the birth certificate and misspelled my last name since she still gave my daughter my last name.We went home and a month after I came home frome work and she told me she was leaving with the baby. Ever since then it's been a struggle to get to see my daughter. The only way I can see my daughter is when she wants money and then she just stops letting me see her. Every week I'm texting her and calling asking if I can see her or when can I give you the check in Hope's of being able to see my daughter that weekend but she ignores my messages. When she does finally answer she tells me my daughter doesnt want to see me but my daughter always says she does want to come when I finally get to see her. There is no CS/custody order.
A: Get a child support/custody order.
