winx717 Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Hello all, I am writing this time because I have a bit of an issue at home. See, my b/f was never married to the mother of his daughter. I have no problems with her, nor does she have a problem with me, so I know that I am not the issue. But about 3 weeks ago, she just up and decided not to let my b/f see his daughter. He always used to get her on Wednesday after school and on Sundays in the morning and kept her all day, as he is a server and works about 70 hours a week. In other words, he had her every chance he got. But she stated that she wants him to get her 4 days a week, which she knows is impossible and she said that he doesn't "support her (the daughter) mentally nor physically." I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. I don't think I know how to emotionally support a 5 year old. Can anyone tell me what he can do to get back his visitation rights? Thank you for reading. If you need more details, just ask.
Touche Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 He needs to take her to court. Have they ever had any formal visitation agreement? If not, he needs to do that otherwise he'll always just be at her mercy and at her whim. Why is the mom changing the arrangement all of a sudden? Perhaps she needs financial help with daycare? Does he contribute anything financially? He needs a lawyer. It's different in every state so you probably won't get useful advice here.
ed-205 Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I agree. Most Lawyer Referral places can get you a discount on the first visit, sometimes as low as $25 or so, and I would definitely look into it. If they had no official Court Ordered support/visitation agreements, then it sounds to me like she finally talked to a lawyer, and your B/f needs to talk to one as well. Sudden changes in an otherwise amicable arrangement often indicate that a lawyer is behind them.
Author winx717 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 Thank you for all your comments. That is what I told him as well. He does pay child support each month... it was something that they agreed on, outside of a court. She doesn't go to daycare, so I don't know. The only thing that I can think of is that because she is getting married, she may be trying to create a nice little family and get my b/f out of the picture. She has another daughter that is older than my b/f's daughter, so I am sure that she needs money, but hey, who doesn't?!
