This mans gone too far?

my sons girlfriend recently had her baby and her father is not letting my son see her. my son missed out on the birth of his daughter because his girlfriend is too scared of her father to say anything. my son provided for his gf throughout herpreg. even though he was not llowed to see her.she would sneekout to see my son i have pic of at my home when she would see him. his gf kept promissing him not to worry that after the baby was born that things will be diffrent.she even said that he would bethere for the birth too. but her father is a control freek and would not allow it. he even threatened to kill my son on several times. my son just turned 18. shes16 will be 17 in few months. i know if it were up to her she would want my son a part of their babyslife. my son is devastated depressed soo sad. it hurts me to see him this way cause hes done nothing wrong for her father to not like him. he used to let them see each other even after she found out she was preg. but all of a sudden he changed his mind this man has to have complete control of everything.i understand that she is still a minor but he shouldnt have a say in wheather my sonsees his own baby. apparently my son was good enough to fork over money but not good enough to see his baby.ive exchanged a few words with this man nd i feel that he is a hostil man cant talk like a human being. hes a drunk with 2 dwi and is on probation.i worry about my grandbaby. my son is having to find a lawyer in which he cant really afford but is going to try to get some visitation rights.it makes me sick to my stomach that this man thinks hes above everyone. i think i will call immigration on him. just to piss him off. and probably call cps cause hes a mean and hostil man that his own daughter cant even speak up for herself. what do you think? he should be glad that my son stepped up to the plate and provided for his gf and bought all kinds of things from diapers to crib for his baby. i am so angry at this man for what hes done to my son denying him his right to see his baby born.

    I think that man is sickening. I also think it's such a sticky situation because she is underage. I'm really not sure how law goes as far as underage parents, but I do know that he has a right to see his child, it just sucks that he is going to have to pay for a lawyer to do so. Has he told this girl's dad that he is seeking legal support to get rights to see his child? Maybe if the dad knew he was serious about doing all that, he would just give up and let him see his child anyway. I mean, sometimes people just don't want to go through the court stuff and since he has 2 DUIs anyway he doesn't sound like someone who likes the justice system-haha. I would think twice about calling CPS or Immigration because you wouldn't want them to end up trying to intervene with the situation with the baby. She is a minor and if he's the only person in her household and he's deemed not fit to take care of her and the baby, they could try to place the baby in foster care, so be careful for that. I just hope that the things your son has done to do right by his child (try to see the baby, buy things for the baby, etc.) will eventually come back to him and he'll be able to have a bigger part in the child's life. It will crush him every second that he can't be a party of it, but I hope one day this will all work itself out. Just tell him to keep trying-that baby deserves to know his daddy and you.

    Well, if you live in the U.S. your son has every legal right to his his child. don't worry about legal trouble, once a girl has a child in the U.S. she is legally emancipated from her parents. She can seek assistance from the government especially if she moves out of her parent's home. Is your son listed on the birth certificate as the father...if not ask the courts for a paternity test in order to establish visitations. If your son and his GF are a couple they can both get assistance. If her father still refuses, he will then be held in contempt of court.

    have him file for paternity. when he does that child support will be set as well as visitation and he will be informed of his parental rights.you as a grand parent also have rights. you need a lawyer asap if at any time you fear for your grand daughter I would call cps and I would make sure that some how the gf knows that if she chooses to leave she will have a safe place for herself and baby. note about foster care if the baby were to go into foster care they try to put the child with family first. that said if the gf said she wanted grandma or daddy to have her you would get here after the background checks in the mean time they would make sure you and your son saw your grand daughter.

    Contact the family court system. It can be accessed through your state's county assistance program. Look on your state's website and it will link up with the family courts.

    Definitely, if the girl's dad is a drunk, HE is the one who should not be around the child...not your son!

    Yes alcoholics do think they are above all the rest of us and that their word is the law. You and your son will have a real job on your hands. Hope all ends well.
