Trouble with my ex?do i need an attorney?

Question

weve been separated 15 years..i have a child by another man..ex could not father children..he has been around my child..but he argues alot which is why we are not together..recently i told him to just stay away because even a platonic relationship is not working..now he wants to take me to court for visitation with my child...what???? can he do that..my child isnt all that over him.

Answer 1

if he is not on the birth certificate he doesnt have rights to the child, but i have seen stranger things happen. Like my sister had to put in her divorce decree that me and my mom could get visitations with her kids while she was in iraq, if not we wouldnt have seen them. And i have also seen non family members win visitation rights with children as well..get a lawyer..

Answer 2

confused, was he part of the kids life during marriage?

unless he pays child support i dont think he can be awarded visitation
