You need to go to your local family court and file a motion asking for visitation, including the specific terms you want to request. You can request joint physical and legal custody and spell out the days and times you want visitation. If you can afford it it'll certainly pay for you to hire an experienced family law attorney from your area.

Andy230... My son is currently facing the same issue. I can assure you an Attorney that specializes in Family Law will best serve you and give you answers to what the possibility you have in gaining 50/50 custody for your state as each state differ. We were told for my son's case .very possible but many factors are evaluated such as age of child , activities , distance between parents.etc. Do a little research .Then take advantage of free consultations and speak with more than one attorney . You stated "ex partner" does this mean you were never married? Did you establish Paternity? If no to either , contact your local court and take steps to get the paternity established!

We need a LOT more details to be able to help. What relationship do you have to the mother. Are you on the birth certificate? Have you been declared the legal father by a court? Why won't the mother let you see your daughter? And many more.

Without such info, you NEED to consult an attorney who will ask those questions so he can help.

So many issues, how old is the child, can you provide a stable home, if the child is of school age, do you live in the same school district,

Hi Andy,
Is it a British Birth Certificate? If so, then both parents have full parental authority.

Hope this helps!

AGAIN, do not start multiple threads for the same issue. I have, again, merged your new post. If you want to ask a follow-up please use the Answer This Question options.

As to whether its right or not, we cannot say, since we have no clue as to the circumstances.
