custody

cwtch_88

Hi long story short myself and my boyfriend have a 9 month old daughter together very turbulent relationship as of late constantly arguing.

At this stage I feel the only reason im still here is so she doesnt get dragged and pulled between us. He told me neither of us have custody and neither of us csn just take her. I was under the impression that the mother had full custody when parents are unmarried..

I would never stop the 2 of them seeing each other I just would love to know my rights .

Can not give advice, call to FLAC or Family Law Free Legal Aid centre in your area.

You are full custodian and guardian unless the courts decide otherwise. He can apply for half guardianship and custody if he wants, but automatically you have it all, you can leave with her in the morning if you so choose.

Myths about custody still abound. Most people still believe that the courts favor mothers over fathers—who are discriminated against because they are men—and that this is how it’s always been.
This is not true.
For more than five thousand years, men—fathers—were legally *entitled* to sole custody of their children. Women—mothers—were *obliged* to bear, rear, and economically support their children. No mother was ever legally entitled to custody of her own child.

This is Ireland, no unmarried father has any legal right to guardianship unless awarded by the courts
