My Girlfriend Won’t Let Me See My Child – What Are My Rights?

Being denied access to your child by your girlfriend or ex-partner is more than frustrating—it can feel like your world is collapsing. As a father, you have legal rights, even if you were never married to the child’s mother. I’m Michael Capleone, a Hoover, Alabama-based family law attorney. I’ve helped fathers like you protect their relationship with their children since 2003.

The first question is whether you’ve legally established paternity. If not, that’s your starting point. Once paternity is confirmed, you can file for visitation, joint custody, or even full custody depending on the facts. If your girlfriend is ignoring a court order, Alabama law allows you to file a contempt action to enforce your rights.

This isn’t just about law—it’s about fatherhood. You deserve a place in your child’s life. The court will look at what's best for your child, not who “feels” entitled to custody.

Whether you're in Alabama or another state, you don't have to accept being pushed out. You can take legal action—and you should.
