Fathers rights question?

Question

What are some different ways to get more rights concerning my child. I'm a non-castodial parent and fight the never ending battle against a unresponsible mother who uses our child as a bargining tool. I pay lots of money a month in support and am very involved in my kids life but I seem to get kicked around the entire time by the mother. She controls when and how I see me child which pretty much makes me a "part time" dad. Can someone please tell me ways to beat this and get the chance to give my child what she deserves, A good home.

Answer 1

Take her to court for more parenting time during the week, more overnight visits and more vacation time.  

If you can prove she is unfit ask for change of custody but that is all I see you can do but this takes time and money because you will need a good strong lawyer.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Sounds to me like you should take it to court. File for custody possibly...

Whatever you decide to do, good luck. It is always good to hear from the fathers that are actually there for their children. :D

Answer 3

Get a lawyer who specializes in Family/Custody Cases... take her to court and continue to fight for custody of your child... Also keep detailed records of how much you're paying etc. this is very important... once you go to court you will have to provide proof of everything.  

Good luck, it's a d**n shame when women do this type of thing.

Answer 4

All you can do it take it to court.  The more time you already spend with them the more likely you can get joint custody which will give you more power and rights.  If you have a visitation agreement make sure to not miss any visits and right down any time she refuses a visit to use against her.  Make sure to never bad mouth their mom in front of them as that will just go against you.  You will have to prove her unfit to get custody or prove to the courts why you should atleast get joint custody (and live within 1 hr driving distance from them).  

Answer 5

you need to start keeping track of everything. write it all done and take pictures if needed. you need to prove she is unfit or a danger to the kid inorder to get custody. as for being part of the kids like liek i said you need to keep track of it all but you mayneed to contact the courts and talk to them and fight for your visitaions and such GL  

Answer 6

You are going to have to take that to court.  You can file for joint custody and if you can prove you have been paying support on time, and being the best dad you can be, I don't see why you wouldn't be granted joint custody.  I doubt you could gain sole custody unless you can prove shes an unfit mother.
