Can a girl keep a child away from the father?

Answer 1

No, of course not. If the non-custodial parent is keeping the custodial parent from the child then the custodial parent needs to get moving and take the matter to court immediately. The custodial parent also needs to get some counseling so that she can assert her rights more effectively and be a better parent for her child.

Answer 2

Unites States:

No. An unmarried father has no right to keep the child from her mother unless there is a court order to that effect. He has no personal legal authority to keep the child. In the absence of any order, if he takes the child and fails to return the child to the mother she should call the police.

Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent.

If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.

Answer 5

Depends what you mean by "nothing". if you mean before the child was born, a man has no obligation to provide the mother with anything since there is no proof he is the father. His rights and obligations does not start until after birth. A father can require visitation rights after proving paternity in court and he does not have to pay child support to get it. Child support is a separate issue. If the father however have not been in contact with the child during a long time, the mother can go to court to have his parental rights terminated due to child abandonment. If however she is the one denying him access this would not be child abandonment.

Answer 6

You didn't say if the girl was the mother. Here are some factors: * If the girl is the mother and there is a good reason (drugs, criminal record, abuse, lack of support payments or, the father of the child refuses to see the child) making the father unfit, then yes, she can go to Children's Aid or a lawyer and gain sole custody of the child. Generally the mother will win in this case because the safety of the child always comes first. * If a girl is living with a boyfriend and they have a child together and he is an unfit father as stated above then she can seek the help of a lawyer or Child's Aid and get sole custody of the child. * The girl cannot keep the child away from the father if he is a decent father and she simply decides she wants nothing more to do with him or, she has another boyfriend or even a husband. The father in this case would have every right to have partial custody of that child if he so chooses. * If the girl (mother) of the child is unfit herself then the boyfriend/husband can also seek sole custody of the child should he think the environment the child is raised in is unfit. This of course would be a decision of Child Aid and it could go to court.

Answer 7

Not legally. If he takes legal action & she does it one or two times more & he reports it, she will lose custody completely.

Answer 8

Get a restraining order, you must go to court either way, so ask a lawyer.

Answer 9

No. A father has absolutely no right to keep a child away from the mother unless there is a court order to that effect.
