Guardianship of Infants Act, 1964 6.—(1)..

The father and mother of an infant shall be guardians of the infant jointly....

Section 2 Definitions-


"father" includes a male adopter under an adoption order but does not include the natural father of an illegitimate infant


You don't automatically get guardianship if you're not married to the mother, you can however apply to court to be made a guardian

Have you applied to be guardian? If no then you only have yourself to blame.

You don't need a solicitor. Go to the family law office in Temple Bar, get a ticket, queue up and a family law office clerk will help you file the application. Then just go before the judge and ask him to appoint you guardian and give you access.

The courts are spanking mothers at the moment. Fathers will be granted guardianship and weekly access.

hey if the mother and father do not get on.
for example peter and marry where happy once but thing went bad after a while and even if peter said to marry i will go to court of access and guardianship ,but marry said do you will not get it because she does not want anything to do with peter and she is saying that peter has treatind me and **** like this ,

Slow down on the keyboard!!!

Peter is entitled to guardianship, I have rarely seen it turned down. It doesn't matter what the mother says, it is not her choice.

Again my experience has been that every guardianship application I have seen has been given. Access is generally granted alongside this unless it is not in the childs interest.

As above. I have been through all this over my 3 kids. got guardianship for the first one (born before we were married) and access for her and the other 2. The courts were very fair and will keep the children in mind throughout. The mothers wishes have no bearing on the matter unless they can prove that you are a danger to your kids. Even though my ex reported me for abusing my kids (reported me 4 different fcuking times!) and I had to jump through court hoops for over a year, it still worked out for the best. Believe me when I say that the family law judges have seen it all before and know the score.
