Rights of a Lesbian Co-Parent?

Question

Rights of a Lesbian Co-Parent?
I am asking this for a friend who is having trouble with her ex.

They were in a lesbian relationship for a few years. while together they decided they wanted a baby and used a friend as a "donor". When the child was 2 they split and her ex has stopped her seeing the child. Does any one know if she has any rights to see the child? Her ex is currently back in a relationship with the child's dad and pregnant with another child.

any advice would be gratefully recieved. She still sees the child as "her son" and would love to be involved in his life but doesn't know if she can take further steps towards making sure she gets contact with him.

FI - the only reason she is not getting to see the child is her ex told her is she did not get back with her then she wouldnt let them see their child.

unless the child was legally adopted by the woman she has no legal relationship with the child whatsoever. sorry

Legally, if she didn't adopt the child, she gas no right to it. It's a shame her ex is being that way. I would think if she could afford a really good attorney she MIGHT be able to get some visitation.

Sorry, but your lesbian friend is nobody in the child's life. She didn't adopt the child. She has absolutely NO rights. If she wants to still be in the child's life, she needs to make friends with the child's parents. Circumstances may deem that impossible.

Good luck

The kid needs to have a real father and a real mother not a mother and a woman who plays the so called "dad" role or whatever.. She has every right to ban her from seeing her son

I don't know exactly the rules to this but I think she definately has a right to see her child.
