Would He Get Access?

Question

My partner split from his ex around a year ago, now we are together she will not let him have his child as often blaming me. Anyway, we've been to a lawyer, and sent letter after letter asking for fortnightly weekends, but so far all hes been given is 3 hours on a Sunday. Hes a brilliant dad, and has never had any convictions, offences etc. He misses his boy so much yet she won't let him see him more often unless he goes and sits at her house. shes still begging him bk and uses the boy against him. Its really not fair. Its going to court now, do you think he will be granted fair access considering hes not done anything wrong, he split with his ex and shes mega bitter!

Answer 1

As long as the ex-wife can not prove that ur new beau- did anything wrong in the past 10 years then he should be ok.  He should get granted at least weekend rights... But if he really wants more time and is willing to fight for it, tell him to hire a d**n good lawyer cuz these things can get messy.. Try also having the lawyer mention to the judge to talk to the child alone, see what he wants.. If it is tossed out there last minute then the mommy cant tell the boy what to say in advance. Good luck...  I hope truely he is a god dad, cuz it wouldnt be right to put the boy in any danger..  (coming from a person that lived thru a very bad relationship/court order of protection)  So just be sure! If the dad wants to see him more and he is going to take the time to spend with him, then great, I wish u both the best of luck!!!

Answer 2

If everything you've said is true I can't see any reason why a judge wouldn't grant him regular visitations. It's so wrong of her to use their son as a weapon. Does she realize what she's doing to that little boy? Even if he's not old enough to quite understand, he still senses things. If that's how she is maybe your partner should get full custody. Good luck!

Answer 3

the court will ask her to explain why she wont let your partner see his son but i can assure you they will give him access she might not like it but its in her sons best intrest to see his father good luck

Answer 4

What about your past? Do you have any skeletons. I would have thought the father would always get proper access as long as he was a good day and had a nice home and job etc. Good look. Don't be too upset with the ex though. Think of how hard it must be for her seeing him with someone else and being happy. She probably is worried that her daughter is going to get attached to you - i.e. her replacement. Be kind.
