Hi im ask this on behalf of my son he has a 9wk old baby girl and his expartner keep telling him he can't see his daughter what rights has he got if any to have contact with her, and how will he go about sorting it out .thank you in advance.
Hi there and welcome 🙂
There are things your son can do. Is he on the Birth Certificate?
Does he have a solicitor and if not, if he's unemployed he needs to get one ASAP as entitlement to Legal Aid finishes on April 1st.
Mediation would be the first step but theres a charge for this unless he is unemployed or on a low income, so it would be advisable to contact the Mediation Service before 1st April too. Heres a link -

As the baby is so young any contact would be short to begin with, just an hour or so, and increasing as the baby gets older.
Have a look round the Legal Eagle section theres plenty of info on all aspects of mediation and contact there.
hi yes his name is on the birth certificate but she keeps on say everytime they have a argument he isnt the dad all he wants to do it be a dad to his little girl i have spoken to him he is going to seek advice .thank you so much for your help .
