    Question My Rights To My Daughter In Kentucky

    Hello all. I'm not sure if this is the exact right spot to post this question but here we go. Basically I’ve been engaged with this Girl for about a year now and we recently had a new born baby girl. She has my last name I also signed the birth certificate and acknowledgment of paternity form. Where the question comes in is what our my rights to my daughter even to know were not Married yet. Reason being for this is because my fiancés family happens to want to be a little controlling. They seem to always want to know every aspect of my fiancés life. And now that they have a new Granddaughter they’re pushing my buttons. By acting as if my family can’t really see the baby much. And making comments like “He has no rights you can do what you want.” So for the sake of argument here I just wanted to find out what my rights actually are, and if I have none. What steps do I need to take to go about filing for some with a Lawyer if need be. I know the simple answer to this would be if things are going good between mom and me then go ahead and get married. But things like that take time and money. I hate to bring this on cause really its stupid. Both families should have mutual respect for one another. To make life easier on the baby but we all know how that goes. So any response would be great thanks

    Take your copy of your acknowledgment of paternity, go find a legal aid office and file to establish custody, visitation and support. Tomorrow.

    YOUR QUESTION:
    I’ve been engaged with this Girl for about a year. We recently had a new born baby girl. She has my last name I also signed the birth certificate and acknowledgment of paternity form. The question is: What our my rights to my daughter even to know we're not married yet?

    ANSWER:
    Your new born baby daughter has every right to know that her parents are not yet married. Of course, being a newborn baby, she probably does not quite yet understand what all of that means, nor does she particulary care about it.

    I seem to think you mis understood the question. My daughters not even a month old. Why on earth would I be talking about her rights to know Me and mom aren't married ha ha. Anyways all jokes aside. The question was suppose to be what are my rights to her as a Father.

    YOUR QUESTION:
    The question was supposed to be: What are my rights to her as a Father?

    ANSWER:
    Oh, OK. That makes a bit more sense. Upon your legal paternity of the child being established in the manner provided by law, you will then have the right to have a "parent-child relationship" with your child. If you and the other parent cannot agree as to which parent should have custody, you will have the legal standing to file a petition with the court seeking a court judgment that resolves and decides the question of custody.

    Likewise, if you and the other parent cannot agree as to a parenting plan (visitation rights, etc.), you have the legal standing to file a petition with the court seeking a court judgment the decides and resolves tghe dispute. That is what judges get paid to do: Resolve dispute and make decisions for parents who are unable or unwilling on their own to resolve their own disputes and make their own decisions.

    Keep in mind that hand in hand with "rights" go "responsibilities." So while you have rights as a parent, your also have (or will have) responsbilities, include a duty to financially support your child.

    OK. I think and hope I have answered your question. If not, let me know.
