Question

My fiance has a child in which he signed away rights. He was told by the bio mom that he would be able to see her. But now that he is in the relationship with me, she has refused him or his family any visitation. She tells the 2 year old child that he does not love the child and has been using this child as a manipulative tool to get money out of him, which he is happy to help support. He would really just like to spend some time with the child and is afraid of being forgotten or hated. Is there anything he can do with no rights, and without spending a fortune? I'm told that she has unlimited finances. Please help!! The child's birthday is coming up and he hasn't seen the child since before Xmas. It's killing him and in turn killing me! Thank you for any advice you may give!!

What do you mean by signing away rights?

If the bio-mom simply has full custody then the father can go to court to have the custody/visitation modified. A judgement will be order for the days and time the child will be with each parent. An amount for support will be made based on the incomes of both parents and the % of time they are with the child.

If releasing rights means you allowed mom or somebody else to legally adopt your child, you would not be liable for child support and probably not able to gain any visitation rights. If this is the case, your parents may be able to get grandparent visitation, and you could spend time with your child then.

I hope that you just allowed the mother to have full custody. I think it is always in the best interest for both dad and child to have a relationship.
