Not exactley certain but a law was brung in on dec 03 giving fathers more rights to this problem of being held to ransom by the mother,its better if your married but not as much has your name on the b/cert.My opinion is to seek advice from a sol who specialise in family law + have a good rspectable name.I am a mother myself but i have fought for my rights to see our grandson that we have had contact with since e was born every week and sometimes in the week too.You must ask for contact even though shel say no and keep records of everything,dont let her try to involve you in arguements of any k
