No contact or interaction with the child, what steps can be taken?

Questioner

A friend of mine is going to be a father. Now his girlfriend (now ex) has broken off all contact, she is working with her mother to stop all contact. The father will therefore not be allowed to have any contact or contact with the child. She is due in April. The father will not be involved in anything. Can he go to a lawyer now to start something or not? He wants to take responsibility for the little one, but his ex and ex mother-in-law are blocking this.

Lawyer

Ir/Madam, Your boyfriend has the right to access to his child. He is also required to pay child support. It is possible to request that he also be granted custody of his child. I think it would be wise to inform the mother of the rights your friend wishes to invoke. For an explanation - free of charge - your friend can contact me directly. Do you have any questions? Please feel free to ask. Yours sincerely,

Questioner

The child is not yet born. The mother has already been told that the father wants to take responsibility and also wants to take care of the child. The mother keeps everything at bay and has blocked the father and has indicated that she no longer wants to have anything to do with him. Mother-in-law is very dominant and claims that he is not the father, but this is true. Recognition has not yet been arranged with the municipality. What can he do at this point?

Lawyer

As stated, make it known in writing that as a father all responsibility is taken. The mother-in-law has no rights and can only influence her daughter.

Lawyer

He can file a request with the court so that he can still acknowledge the child if the mother of the child does not want to cooperate. In that procedure, authority over the child and contact with the child can also be requested. I do a lot of these kinds of cases. If desired, the gentleman can contact me.
