So, you made a baby, but the relationship with your baby’s mamma didn’t work out. You want to be in your kid’s life. Your baby’s mamma has another idea. She wants to raise your kid alone or at least without you in the picture. Now you’re going crazy with thoughts on how your baby is being raised. You want to be there for them but you’re stuck. It’s hard to deal with daily routines because of the thought of that woman you slept with being God-awful to your children. Then one day BAM! You get served with child support papers. So, it seems the power at be wants you to pay for your children even though you have actually never seen your baby. This is a reality for so many men in the world.

Having a child is the greatest joy a person could have. You literally created life and you want to be there for your child not matter what. But your babies mamma is capping, telling everybody you’re a deadbeat that refuses to give anything to your kids. It is a consistent back and forth between you and your babies mamma. If you’re that lucky, some mamas don’t even speak to their child’s father. They expect taxation without representation, for you to pay without being recognized. You are expected to work day after day to pay a woman who hates your kids because they remind her of their father. You may avoid paying, quit your job, develop a substance problem, only making you look more and more like the bad guy. In the end, you just want to see your kids. You would pay, Hell, you giving every last drop of blood you have to spend time with your children. But your babies mamma is blocking hard body. What do you do? You lawyer up, that’s what.

Your going to have to take your baby mamma to court. It’s either you or her, but a decision has to be made. Take that woman to court because what she doing is criminal and justice must be served. If she has the nerve to take you for child support and are not letting you see your kids, then you have every right to take her to court. You’re going to have to get the long arm of the law involved. You have rights as the parent to see your offspring. You’re going to need representation so you’re going to have to seek a lawyer or at least legal aid. Taking someone to court should be taken lightly. The outcome of the dispute could have lasting effects. If you don’t fight for your babies who will? Take her to court, and have the judge force her to let you have time with your children. Heck, you might end up getting full custody and she will have to pay you child support, how bout that?

I hope you the best in your visitation issues. It’s a long battle but you’re fighting for your kids. Your children are the future and we as fathers should have a right to parent our children. If you can’t afford a lawyer that you might want to check out your local legal aid society. There you can find free or low-cost legal services to help in your journey of reunification. There is help out there, you just have to look, ask questions, and be courageous.

Good Luck and Don’t Give Up
