[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 666593, member: 1550"] Unless he goes to court, he HAS no rights. If YOU think he should see daughter, that's your decision, but he has NO custody, hasn't seen her, and would have to pay child support to get visitation in a court of law. He may say he has rights, but that doesn't make it true. It's not true. I agree that the therapist should help you decide what to do. Unless this man takes you to court, he has zilch legal rights to see this child whom he abused and damaged. And the chances are he'd get very little and possibly only supervised visitation. I also would take daughter into consideration. If she is afraid of him, I would tell him to wait until she's eighteen to contact her...or that you'll contact him if she expresses an interest in seeing him. There is nothing he can do about it unless he goes to court and I pointed out all the obstacles that would present for him. In a custody battle, status quo is very important. Judges don't like to disturb the life of the child. That means he'd be putting a lot of money into court and child support and never get much custody. He simply has not been there and that counts big time. I learned a lot during my son's custody battle. If he wants to see his daughter, he will have to do right by you and her and pay child support out of his SSDI plus back child support. I don't think he'll want that on his head. The court doesn't care that he is disabled or what reason he stayed away. They only care that he wasn't t here and did not do right by his little girl. Hugs!!!! [/QUOTE]
