Yes he has rights, wether he's on the birth certificate or not. Your dd needs to do what's best for her child, which means being a grown up herself. Regardless of how she feels about her ex, your grandson has a right to a relationship with his dad

He has rights as the father, but he needs to get himself on the birth cert asap - he is the father and the child at least needs to know who is her father.

Grandparents have no rights, basically.

Actually, neither of them have rights!!

The child does as per the childrens act! They only have responsibilities!

hairytriangle · 09/11/2010 15:18

the Responsibilities bring certain rights to parents, as per the website linked here:

It would be a formality for him to gain PR.....courts almost always award it.

If she wants to block/frustrate contact in any way then he will amply go to court to have it awarded.

What welfare issues are there??

Yeah it's frustrating, but dads who act way,way worse than that STILL get contact regularly, and lots of it too!

He will get contact. He hasn't 'done' anything that would overly concern CAFCASS.

Violent, drug taking dads STILL do get contact. Dads in prison can still get it too.
