maybe when the child is born take her to court for visitation It depends on just how old he is. 15..16..17? In some states you don't have to be 18 to be considered an "adult" and do what you want to do. I know in Texas the legal age is 17. So he would be able to see his daughter. He should be allowed to see her anyway unless the mother is much older than that may cause a problem with the parents.

∙ 17y agoOnly if the mother of the child is willing to allow visitation. The law presumes that an unmarried mother regardless of her age has sole custody of the child and the legal right to make all decisions concerning the child unless a court rules otherwise.

∙ 16y agoGoogle "dad's rights" "father's rights" etc. There are lots of organization with info to help you on this. You will have to legally petition for parental rights, and YOU MUST petition to be on the birth certificate within 24 HOURS of the birth. Now, if you are 21 and the mother-to-be- is 14 then leave her alone and let her parents handle it. If you are a drug dealer or violent criminal, likewise leave her alone and clean up your life. If you are a nice guy and your girlfriend is 18 then go for it - dad's have rights, but you have to go get them sometimes or the court assumes you don't want them.

∙ 15y agoYes, but only if there is no order, temporary or otherwise, that states that the father should have reasonable access to the child. While custody proceedings are pending, there is typically a document issued that requires some sort of visitation with the parent that the child does not live with. If there is such a document, you don't want to violate it because it will hurt your chances for custody. However, if there is no document that gives the father either visitation rights or states that you must give the father reasonable access to the child, then you can do whatever you want until a court order is issued.

Can you move in with your mother in California if she doesn't have any custody of you and tell the court that you want to move in with her because you don't get along with your step-parent?
A minor cannot leave the home of the custodial parent without that parent's permission. The noncustodial parent can petition the court for custody rights pertaining to the minor child. Depending on the child's age the court will take into consideration the opinion/feelings of the child before rendering a decision.
Rights of parents underage who have children?
If you live in the US… It depends on what rights you're talking about. Minor parents have parental rights over their own children (for example, you get to decide rather or not you want to voluntarily give the child up for adoption). However, the minor parent is still subject to the control and authority of their own parents, because having a child does not emancipate a minor.

Does a father have legal rights to care for a child after 16 years of no support after the mother dies?
At 16 it is the childs' choice. The errant father certainly has no legal rights to the child. Laws pertaining to child custody are set by the state in which the minor and his/her custodial parent or legal guardian have established residency. Although a father has not been involved the child's life it does not automatically exclude him from filing a custody petition. Parental rights can only be terminated in two ways, voluntarily or by order of a court of jurisdiction. As long as the child is deemed a minor pursuant to the laws of the state of residency, age is not a factor. In most cases the judge presiding over a custody hearing would take into account the wishes of a sixteen years old.

Does a minor sibling have different rights in a parent's estate than a sibling who is an adult?
The answer depends on the laws in your jurisdiction. Most intestacy laws treat a minor child differently recognizing the need for a parent to provide for minor children. In most jurisdictions in the US a parent cannot disinherit a minor child. An adult child can be disinherited in many jurisdictions as long as the will meets the requirements of state laws. The law in the UK is different.
