I do believe there is a "Statute of Limitations" on this and I think you daughter's father's time is up! Go on: www. Google.com Ask: What is the Statute of Limitations for a parent reclaiming their child? I know at the time you either didn't think of it or you couldn't afford it, but you should have gotten sole custody of your child. If the Statute of Limitations hasn't quite run out on your daughter's father, then go and see a lawyer. It's worth it. Shop around and get prices with lawyers. Ask friends if they know a good lawyer that will cut you a break financially. You can even go to legal aid. If the father of your daughter has NOT PAID child support and has never seen his daughter, you may have to share custody (depending on the judge) but if he's been a runaway father and not paid support, then your chances of winning full custody in court is excellent. If you are too upset to search the internet, then please put another question on this board and simply say: "What is the Statute of Limitations for a parent reclaiming their child in ____________." You will have to put in the State in which you live and either myself or someone else will find out that info for you. Good luck Marcy Every state has laws that pertain to child abandonment, however they do not always apply to an absentee parent. There are different types of abandonment, criminal and civil, the laws that apply in civil cases generally refer to non-support of the minor child(ren). Paternal rights can be permanently terminated after a court hearing, but judges are often reluctant to take such action unless the absentee parent is proved to be unfit or deliberately negligent in their parental duties. The definition of either or both issues is for the most part left to the interpretation of the presiding magistrate, rather than state laws. If parental rights have not been terminated by order of the court, the absentee parent reserves the right to file a petition for visitation privileges or custodial rights, such cases are evaluated on an individual basis.

Can your father get a court order making you visit him if you are 15 and live with your mom and haven't seen your father in 5 months and he is threatening to get a court order if you don't visit?
yes he can, provided they have filed a settlement agreement with the court in the county in which you live which gives your father rights of visitation or parenting time. If your mom does not allow your father to exercise his rights of visitation with you, she can be held in contempt of court for witholding you from him. If you do not wish to spend time with your father, it's best to explain to him why and usually you can work out a reasonable 'break time' until you want to spend time with him again.
