    Do my girlfriend's parents have forced responsibility to allow my baby to see me?
    I am a recent teenage father of 17, along with girlfriend of 16. My girlfriend's parents are always getting into arguments with each other and then take their anger out on make girlfriend with yelling. This then turns into them not allowing my girlfriend to come visit me. This means that I don't get to see my baby. Are her parents forced, by law, to allow me to see the baby, since neither me or my girlfriend can drive? Also, to kink the line, her mom called my dad an A-hole, so my dad does not allow me to go to their house or be supervised by her parents. Is it her parent's responsibility to be mature enough to control their anger, and take the baby to its father? Would the law be on my side if I were to argue the lack of contact I have with my child?

    Talk to your parents about getting a lawyer. You're probably going to need one.

    I understand that you're both at the mercy of your parents right now--YOUR parents are being just as unaccommodating as HERS, by the way--but you do have a right to see your child.

    Talk to a family lawyer about partial custody and/or supervised visits. Your girlfriend will HAVE to bring the baby to those visits, or be found in contempt of court (if that is, indeed, what a court orders). Her parents will have to make sure that she gets the baby to visitations.

    Sounds like you want to be a good dad--keep up that great attitude!

    Good luck to you!
