  1. At whichever age the state you live in says you are an adult or are able to travel freely without a guardian; until then, it would be your guardian (mother) who sets the rules. Other than that, it's up to your father to exercise his rights as a parent in order to see you.


  2. NONE!! It's not your fault that your parents divorced...Your Father made you just like your mother so they both have equal rights to see you  

  3. most divorces have a visitation plan.  Unless your father was abusive and is ordered by the court to stay away you should be able to see him on a regular basis.  

    How old are you now?  Have you talked to your mother about this?  What excuse does she give?   There has to be a very strong reason to not allow you to see a parent.  there is no Age Limit on visitation.  

  4. Whatever age you happen to be. There is no age restriction on it.

  5. That depends on the custody agreement. If your father receives partial custody, you can see him anytime you want (provided you can drive there to visit, or get a ride, or he picks you up, etc.). If he did not receive custody or visitation rights in the settlement, then you'll have to wait until you're legally an adult. In the US, that typically means you'll have to wait until you're 18.  

  6. whenever you feel comfortable. I'm 21 and my parents have been divorced since I was 7. I saw him when I was old enough to fully understand and know what happened. Be strong

  7. In my opinion, you should always have that right.  If your mother does not agree, then it looks like you will be out of luck until you are 18.  Alternatively, if you can contact your father, you might be able to encourage him to seek visitation rights.  If you do not know how to get in touch with him (and your mother will not help you), then you might try searching for his name on the internet and online phone books.
