Hi There!

To Obtain legal rights you should definatley go to court, I know it might sound mean, but you really wouldn't be. You can get leagal custody of your child as long as you can prove you can afford it, and it does not have to be full custody it can be partical, where basically if you have her four night a week that is what it would be like, you could request it to stay the same, you should be able to do this but my true advise would be to talk to a legal adviser, I think it is really great you do this for your Daughter, not to many Dads would :) All the best of luck, hey and let me know how things go!
