Q: If my child’s father cut off all contact and visits with my child but brought a gun into my home can he gain visitation?
Father hasn’t visited since child was a month old nor has provided any financial help but brought a gun in my home & my only proof is my family but wants to get rights
A: The father can pursue parental rights in the courts should he choose to do so. And if that happens you will have your opportunity to admit or deny any of the allegations in his petition and let the court know whether you agree with him obtaining those rights or not. Then it will be up to the court to decide. But I wouldn't say that what you have said alone would prevent him from having contact with his biological child or children.
