Can the mother deny the father the right to attend Dr. appts to follow the progress of his child just because she doesn't want to be with the father anymore?

Answer 1

its not clear whether this is an unborn child, but if so, the father doesn't exactly have rights until the baby is born--I didn't allow my ex to come to my prenatal visits (this was mainly due to his verbal and emotional abuse that I felt was unhealthy for my child and myself) and there was nothing he could do about it (thank god).

no you cant and you would only be hurting the child anyways,but the courts will look down on it and if that's your answer to the judge he may question your best intrest in the child good luck

Answer 2

It depends. If the father was never around to begin with and he simply shows up at your door one day, then yes. This is because you have 100% total custody of the child and all legal authority regarding him/her. However, within the U.S. at least, he does have the right to file for his parental rights pending DNA results and can possibly seek full or partial custody, in which he would have the legal right to see the child. If there is a court order for visitation in affect, the terms must be adhered to regardless of whether the father has been a regular presence in the child's life or not.

Answer 3

no, the law states that the father has to disown or give all rights to the mother in order for her to remove him, now if the father has a history of child abuse or something else the court can put a restraining order against him so he isn't allowed near u or the child for so many feet.

Answer 4

No she cannot. If the court order needs to be changed it has to be done in the court where it was issued. She is breaking the court order if she is trying to stop him from seeing his child or the child from seeing the parent. Child support and visitation are two separate issues.

Answer 5

No. Only a court can take away parental rights. If the parents are unmarried only the mother has parental rights until the father has established his paternity in court.
