What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? indiana
my daugher is 16, father has nver established paternity, no child supp.has not been in her life but here and there when she was little. hes been in and out of prisons her whole life. he is there now. he is an addict, arrested for drugs, alcohol, theft, fleeing, hes hit people, who knows what else. he writes her beggin her to see him, to write him and when she does not reply he writes again giving her a hard time for this or points his fingers at her for not wanting him around. she wrote him 4 yrs ago to please leave her alone and she didnt want him in her life. he is at it again, his release is coming up. he wont take no for an answer. her life is calm, stable, pretty normal w/out him pestering her.. now she is stressed out because of this. each time he does this.
she is a good kid, straight A's, nice friends, active in sports, church, youth groups...she does not deserve all this turmoil.
can I doanything to keep him away? does he have any legal rights to see her? can she make the decision in court for him to stay away and out of her life ?
thanks
