what have you as a man had to do to persuade your unwilling ex partner to let you see your child or children when custody resides with them to regain minimum visitation rights? when all else has failed.

not, "i would do this" comments, more, "what you've done" required.

call your attorney.

Classed has a mentally unfit parent in the eyes of the law. tried that. lost. any other suggestions on what you have done and not what you think you should or would do?

lame.

To think that not one of you men whom have read this thread, have had, or are not currently having trouble with the mother of there child or children in regards to visitation only leads me to believe that there are a lot of men in denial in these forums.

That or its been predominantly women whom have been reading the thread and of course they are not allowed to post in here without the thread starters permission, only we don't want, nor do we require a woman's perspective on this subject, if we had, we would have posted this in the general forums, we don't, thats why the question is posted here in the mens forum.

so, anyone got anything to offer? or am i just wasting my broadband coming back to check on the post?

I'm in your situation right now. My ex refuses to allow me to have any extra time outside of the court order. I get to see my son 4 days out of the month. The only advice I can give is to keep asking for more time, document everything (when she allows you time and when she doesnt) do this for a year, and then take her back to court.

The judge is going to want to see that you are trying to have an active, and consistent role in your childs life. If he sees that you are asking weekly for time, and are being denied that would possibly help you out.

Good luck.

even with joint parental responsibility it took her 4 years to listen to anything we had to say in regards to any visitation, irrespective of what the family court said, she did what she wanted knowing we didnt have a legal leg to stand on, we tried to get her to agree a timetable, she just plain blank refused to listen to anything we had to say, it got to the point after a decade of trying that it became impossible to speak to that woman without feeling morally obliged to wipe out several generations of her family tree to stop the possibility of anymore of this type of woman being bred.

we have saved every single email that was sent and received back from her spanning 10 years, they are all relating to me asking for visitation, to setting up some kind of regular visitation schedule, or even are we going to see him at all this year. she would normally not reply until after the day i suggested with was going on holiday that week, something else the next date suggested, then her moms for the next weekend, wedding, funeral, excuse, excuse, etc. had to wait until she ran out of excuses for me not being able to see him, persistence we do do.
