I am gonna try to help because I get it. He needs to contact your states division of child support and ask for the paperwork to being the process to establish paternity. It isn’t much paperwork and will get things started. I will say once he is established he will likely have to pay child support and if he wants to have court ordered custody agreement that is more complex. First step though is to establish paternity because he has no rights and can not do a thing until that is done. Also be sure to document EVERYTHING. If she is keeping him from his child that will almost certainly but taken into account when courts are deciding on custody agreements. Start documenting it now. Good luck.
Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. My brothers ex is keeping their baby from him and us, help!?
He does have legal rights. He needs to get to a lawyer’s and demand a DNA test. This will establish his rights.
Petition the court for a dna test, once he’s proven to be the father he can fight for visitation or custody.
Have him go to court to establish paternity and for visitation. He can contact a lawyer.
answer: have your brother contact a lawyer. And not a cheap one.
Take her to court for rights
What an evil witch 
!
He’ll have to take it to court and they’ll want a DNA test
Lawyer up! He has rights!
Tell him to lawyer up asap.
He will have to file a petition for paternity. Then fight her in family court for custody
Put his self on child support and a dna test , and there u go
If its truly his baby he still has rights. First thing he needs to do is get a dna test and then go from there on getting visitation or even custody.
Agree with others. Get dna done and go for 50/50 custody. The courts won’t look kindly at her for withholding the child from him.
There is never a relationship with a child if the parents aren’t in love. Just my perspective, but you do you, shouldn’t had a baby if the couple is always fighting in the first place.
Unless they are married he would of had to been there to sign the birth certificate to be on there anyways. Go to the court request a dna test then once proven he will be granted visitation.
Have him contact a lawyer
He can petition for a DNA test and if it comes back as his baby he can legally put his name on the birth certificate without her even being present, I also say he should get a lawyer.
Perhaps he is not the father…MAURY MAURY MAURY!!!
Tell him to call child support on his self they will help him establish all his rights
He has rights, don’t be silly!
Get a lawyer and serve her ASAP
DNA test and good lawyer. Best advice
DNA test and court also try and contact a lawyer I’m so sorry for you all
Have your Brother hire a lawyer and fight this evil bitch ! He will have to take a DNA test but he will be given rights and visitation! It won’t be cheap but worth it! I HATE WOMEN who Pull this shit!!! Good Luck! Stay strong and don’t give up!!
- Take her to court.
- Get a court ordered paternity test.
- Establish a legally binding custody agreement.
- If she doesn’t follow said agreement, see step 1.
Simple. He needs to keep trying to see his child and keep a record of her denying him. At the same time he needs to gear up for the fight of his life and take her to court.
Go to court file a motion ASAP
Went through it with my son and his girlfriend and baby and we got him full custody
Go to court ASAP
It is not as expensive as you might think and you do not need a lawyer.
Contact a lawyer. Your brother has rights. So does the grand parents.
He needs a lawyer get the ball rolling
You shouldn’t post your brother personal business on fb. He needs a lawyer and not to tell you anything.
He can file for DNA to prove the baby is his. After that, he has rights to his child because a father is just as important as a mother.
As for the hospital situation, it’s up to the birthing person who comes to the hospital while there.
She royally screwed herself… The best thing she can do at this point is to try and have a good relationship with the father of the baby…. Because the moment he files for paternity rights, she’s going to have one hell of an uphill battle to fight and one that she WON’T be happy about.
I’ve learned the hard way. Fathers have EVERY EQUAL RIGHT as the mothers…….
So, advice for the father who wants to be a part of his child’s life. File that paperwork and get the rights you so desire.
As a momma, you better be ready to fight like hell also.
Petition court for dna and then custody.
She will regret that. Only way is for him to do dna and then get visitation.
Um, regardless of being on birth certificate or not he has legal rights! He can go to courthouse and request a DNA test, he can also file for visitation rights. Very common situation unfortunately. Tell him to go to courthouse asap
-
Domestic relation n file for a paternity test, if it’s his, then he can legally get his name put on the birth certificate.
-
Get a lawyer after proving hes the father and get visitation.
Easy as that. Idk why ppl think it’s so hard to see their child.
Go to the courts and petition a DNA test.
So my nephew dealt with a similar situation and we were all devastated. About a year later my husband and I found out that our nephew was into some really bad things at the time. Family doesn’t always tell you the truth. I can say now, without a doubt, that I don’t blame his child’s mother one bit for keeping him away at that point. Just something to think about. I sincerely hope that your family is able to work everything out and eventually be able to see that precious baby. 
First things first, get a DNA test to establish paternity. Once it’s proven to be his, or not, proceed from there in taking her to court for rights, to set up support, etc. Make sure to put in there to meet at a neutral location to hand off the child.
LAWYER! Everyone in the family pitch in and pay for a LAWYER. You can get advice from anyone and everyone. But someone who can help him legally is the only person who’s going to get him the right help
Here’s what he needs to do. First he needs to get a lawyer and request a paternity test. When he comes back as the father then he can go about petitioning to have his name put on the birth certificate, set up child support and visitations. That’s the only way to have legal access.
You still have legal rights even without your name being on the birth certificate at least it’s that way in my state. He has just as rights to the baby as she does. Go to the court to petition custody.
Court that all we can said
If they aren’t married and he wasn’t present to sign the birth certificate he wouldn’t be listed as the father, technically The child is illegitimate and the Mother is the only Parent Legally. If he is indeed the father, He will need to retain an Attorney and petition the family courts for a paternity test. Once paternity is established, He will have the same rights as Mom.
Honestly speaking from experience and it’s probably going to be a unpopular opinion… buuttt! There’s probably a lot of that relationship that you or your family know nothing about. So if she feels that keeping him away is what is best for her and baby at this time then I can’t say I disagree. Doesn’t mean it’s permanent but she just gave birth… I’m sure last thing she wants is arguing in the hospital.
Even if she does come around and let him see the baby I would still get lawyer and get my rights on paper… then there no pulling back and forth. All that does hurt everyone especially the baby. Seem to me she like drama so I would sure get lawyer and dna ASAP
I hope there’s a lawyer involved
He needs to call a lawyer and fight for his parental rights.
Only way is DNA order from court and visitation rights with half custody.
Probably not his baby, just saying. Girls aren’t this vicious unless they have something to hide. Either she doesn’t know if it’s his or she knows it’s not.
He needs to get a lawyer and fight for his parental rights
See an attorney right now.
Get paternity established.
If he wants to fight for residential custody he can. A man has every legal right to have 50/50 parenting time and shared custody.
Dna test ASAP, and the best thing he could do for himself in this battle, is go sign himself up for child support. I know it sounds stupid, but the courts will look at it as him going above and beyond for his child and he’ll end up on it anyways, better it’s in his favor. Then tell him to go for split custody, not visitation. Split. Babies need their fathers just as much as their mothers. Best of luck to him🖤
He has legal rights. All he needs to do is a get a dna test done.
Establish paternity first. File for a dna test a the county attorneys office or child support office in his area.
He needs to go file with the court for sure.
Being on the birth certificate still would not give him rights. They were not married. He has to take her to court and request a paternity case. That is the only way he can do it!
If he’s not on drugs or physically violent, he can take it to court to get visitation even if he’s not on the birth cert and will likely be granted to him.
The moment she tries to file for any kind of state assistance they will want to know about the father of the chiild. Including having a DNA test to prove he is the father.
Just have him file with the court for paternity
He needs a lawyer and to ask for a DNA test like now
Taking this at face value, he needs a lawyer and she sounds insane. But there’s always three sides to the story. There must be a reason that is happening.
He need to get a lawyer and patient for dna test. My nephew was with women off and on again too. She git pg and they wasnt sure who father was. When the bsby was born he went to the court house and patiented the courts for dna , etc
Paternity test and a court date will change all of that. Good Luck. This is so tragic
Join a fathers rights page. You’ll learn a lot. I admin one and it was a huge help when I had to go to court with my fiance for her daughter
File for dna test he’s gonna need a lawyer unfortunately… hope he’s financially stable he might have to pay child support…
Wild. Theres a girl on tiktok and her story is the exact same due date and all except she says the dude beat her up and the family is covering for him
- DNA TEST
- Lawyer
- File for custodial rights
If custody isn’t established, it needs to be ASAP.
The parent with physical custody kind of sets the rules until the courts are involved.
It all depends on the state laws,if rhey are married, lots of things come into play here so you can’t get one certain correct answer for all
File with the court.
He need a lawyer. He will have to petition for a paternity test and establish his rights.
Have him go to the courthouse and file for custody/visitation. If he asks for 50/50 and is reasonable he’s got a good chance. The first step will be a paternity test, and they will put him on the BC.
It’s not right whsts being done but I feel we are missing alot if the story
Time to hire a lawyer and petition for a paternity test. She’ll be court ordered and then his name will be on the birth certificate and he can get parental rights.
Should of put manners on your brother im sure shes not doing it for nothing she gave ur ma the heads up n ur on here slating her r u a mother yourself stay out of it and be there for your niece or nephew hope they don’t see this post bad form
Tell him to get a lawyer And file for a DNA test with the court right away. And to ask for split custody not visitation. He should be involved in that baby’s life. Its not fair to him, the baby or the rest of his family. Good luck to yall
She’ll need each of you! Things such as this you’d be better with waiting on the Lord, but in the meanwhile he can have a blood test ordered through the courts.
File court papers and paternity test asap. And document everything … It wont look good for her when she isnt complying for what’s best for the baby… Good luck…
File for a dna test if baby comes out his they’ll put his name on it then he needs to go to court and get rights
Get a DNA and prove he’s the father nothing she can do then !!!
Dna test … he will get his rights then
If a mother is keeping a baby from it’s father it probably isn’t because he’s a good guy.
He can file custody in court and file a deferral/ waiver of fees if he’s low income. Then on there he can check establish paternity box and the court will order it. Also the judge pays attention to which parent has child’s best interest at heart. If you go in there saying you want a a civil relationship with the other parent to both be there for baby and don’t ask for more than equal share of custody and responsibility of the baby that shows you have the best interest at heart. Most courts won’t split custody with a baby under 1 due to mom breastfeeding but if she isn’t it won’t matter.
A birth certificate doesn’t determine a father’s ability to see/be a father. A paternity test and court ruling does.
He will have to petition the court for paternity test then if it comes out he’s the father he will have to petition the courts for visitation/whatever type of custody he is seeking. With them being on and off he should do this regardless of if they get back together therefore to protect his rights as a father.
They should have married before having the baby.
He can have a court order paternity test
Maybe she isn’t sure it’s his if they have been on and off
He needs a lawyer, establish paternity and custody.
He needs to go to the child support office and file to take a dna test put he self on child support and go for 50/50 custody
It will take time but many of these ladies got the answer. Good luck.
All he needs to do is go to court file for custody
Let the 18 year battle begin. It all starts with going to court. They will make her do a dna test. She will probably lie saying hes violent or hostile towards him, so that way it makes him look bad in court and he will be forced to have supervised visitation. Itll probably be a huge battle and lots of time before he will be able to keep the baby over night. He may need character witnesses to defend him saying hes not a violent and horrible person (my bff had to go thru ALL of this cuz his ex lied saying he was abusive and everything, when hes really not). There are dads who have won the court and judge over by proving that hes nothing like what the mother said he was. Even if shes breastfeeding she will still have to let the baby stay over night if thats what the judge grants. She will either have to pump and send, or the baby will be fed formula while being in the dads care. Just prepare him for a LONG and expensive battle. Get a good lawyer…and whatever he does, do NOT bad mouth the mother in court. That will reflect badly on him instead of her. Kill her with kindness. She will try to provoke him to make him look bad infront of the judge.
He needs to have the baby legitimized through the court which is fairly simple process… he can file the paperwork himself without a lawyer… they will DNA test the baby and once confirmed he is the father the judge can then enforce child support and custody/visitation… if she lawyers up then I would suggest he do the same to ensure it’s a fair fight.
I’d file for dna,and take her to court.
