How do you Dad's fight for more visitation?

I have a friend going through a not to nice divorce. His daughter is 8 months old. Right now he gets 7 hours a week visitation every time he asks for more she denies it saying it's not good for the baby to be away from her all day. She denied evernight visitations using a court appointed parenting class as an excuse saying it is unhealthy for the baby to be away from home overnight. He has the baby 4 hours on saturday and she put the baby on a schedule where she sleeps and eats 3 out of the 4 hours he has her. He has paid child support since the day he left the house and all he wants is more time to know his daughter. I see him hurt every day because of this. Are there any laws or rights to help him? The longer this drags on the more time he is missing with her.

Well, he'd better get a lawyer and start fighting now because it won't get any better if he lets his ex or soon-to-be-ex have her way.

My husband is a terrific man and a loving, devoted father and he hasn't seen his oldest daughter in 2 1/2 years. She's 14.

Tell him not to wait. Do it now before it gets even harder!
