Does a father, if not married to the mother, have the right to see abortion records in Florida?

no. that would be violating the patient's rights. abortion is a medical procedure and is just like any other procedure--confidential.

A conviction does not automatically curtail parental rights.\nYes, a father who is in jail or prison can petition the court for visits with his child (blood or adopted).\nIf the custodial parent or guardian is unwilling or unable to facilitate such visits, the court can appoint a third party to do so.\nIf the child is under a certain age, the courts may want an independant evaluation to determine whether such visits are in the best interest of the child and if the child over a certain age, the courts will interview the child and give weight to their wishes... not the final say, but their voice will be heard.\nThe exception is that if the conviction was for crimes against a child, the inmate may not have minors visit him in most cases.\n\nEven in prison, a parent is still a parent, with rights.

Im sorry to say Im of the opinion that the law as it stands in New Zealand would allow the father to have access to the child. The fact that the father is not on the birth cert. is not really a mitigating factor, though if you deny him rights it seems unlikely that he would pursue them. The family courts will try and seek what is beneficial to the child and it seems that they will consider you are the better parent. I cannot imagine the law in Ireland is much different. Any parent may have access to their child

Marital status does not preclude the father's parental rights. If the mother has surrendered her maternal rights, the child's father is the legal "top dog" to gain custody, unless his history, another blood relative of the child, or the Dept. of Social Services (the name of the agency varies from state to state) shows him to be truly unfit.

Yes.  If your not legally divorced yet.  Even though it's not fair, he has the exact same rights as if he was the person that had custody of them.   Unless you file for sole custody of the children, he has the right.

well let me tell you, I have been through my share of crap concerning things similar and I also used to type up birth certificates in a maternity ward. If at the time of birth the mother was married to this guy she's married to now, the child would have to have his name even he was not the father, that's the law! and also you are not legally responsible for anything right now unless ordered by a judge. the person whose name is on the birth certificate is responsible and you all are gonna end in court over this, trust me....

I'm a former police officer turned attorney in Indiana. I don't know if this will help or not.\n\nWere the two of you ever married? If yes, then he may have an equal right to the child. It all depends on the law in Tennessee. \n\nWhy are the papers not drawn up yet? What did they state? You should've had at least a basic knowledge of what they were suppossed to say. Were they done locally? If so, go to the court that is working on them, and see if you can get a copy directly from them. \n\nAs a police office we never got involved in custody disputes. It was not our job to resolve civil disputes. Most people never realize this, but police usually have no power over civil law matters; only criminal. I would contact your local law enforcement and ask to speak to an officer. Ask what their policy is regarding these type of disputes. We usually left the child with whoever had custody at that time as we had no power to determine custody. \n\nI wish you the best of luck.

I live in Columbus, OH.  I would think if the father can prove that the mother is not doing a good job, the courts will grant full custody to the father.  The burden of proof rests with the father, though.  Good Luck!

Technically yes.  If he can prove he's the father with a paternity test and he can prove your unfit to keep the baby and he is fit then yes he has a chance to get custody of the baby. The fact that he is married is morally wrong but in court it may not matter.  Good luck.

Absolutely.  That baby is half the father's too.  The mother will ultimately probably have the final say.  Abortion could affect her uterus enough that she is unable to have children in the future due to scar tissue buildup.

I am voting NO on it.  This is not a pro-life or pro-choice issue necessarilly...  Over 60% of minors tell one or both parents when they have an abortion, as it is.  If a parent is close with their child, and has an honest, open, loving relationship with them, there is no reason why the child shouldn't and wouldn't come to the parent with their dillema.  For the girls that choose not to tell their parents, they have their reasons, and a lot of them are very good reasons.  If this prop were passed, it would put minors in abusive homes or hostile environments at risk.  If a girl has to notify her parent of the abortion, this parent could go into hysterics and lash out in physical and verbal abuse.  She may be kicked out of her home.  If the unborn child is a product of familial incest, this is certainly not a case where a girl should have to notify her parents of the pregnancy and abortion- she's been through enough, and it could cause a whole new host of problems for her.  Also, some parents may threaten and/or literally drag their daughters out of the abortion clinic when it came time for the procedure.  Even though this prop doesn't say "consent" only notification, it is still implied consent in a way, because if the parent knew, he or she could feasibly forbid their daughter to have the abortion.  \n\nThis prop infringes on a young woman's right to privacy and right to choose.  It is one step in the slippery slope towards getting abortion outlawed, which I personally believe is wrong.  Women should retain autonomy over their own bodies.  I am not pro-abortion, but I am pro-choice.  \n\nThere is no epidemic of increasing numbers of teens getting abortions.  There are no teens dying of legal abortions.  Why do we need the notification?  Regardless of the fact that she's a minor, it is still HER body, and a baby that will be HER responsibility for the next 18 years- not her parents.  \n\nThe most important reason to vote no on this proposition is for the vulnerable young girls in our society who have difficult home lives and dysfunctional parents...it is often girls of this background who get pregnant young, and it is those we need to protect from more devestation in their lives.  \n\nHappy voting~whatever you choose!  :)

No.  He has no rights here in the U.S. either...Of course, if she is pregnant, the sensible thing for her to do would be discuss it with him and let him at least air his views on the whole abortion issue.  \n\nIt sounds like she isn't being entirely truthful about the whole thing though..and the question really should be..is she pregnant at all?  Sometimes women make up stuff like that for attention...it might be because it isn't his..and another reason could be that she plain doesn't want to bear a child right now..and that is her legal right.  If she was having an abortion, and it was his, she probably would have asked him to share the cost..abortions are expensive and are not generally covered by medical insurance.\n\nI would venture a guess that she isn't even pregnant...

First off, to make a claim of "30 PERCENT OF WOMEN WHO CLAIMS THAT A GUY IS THE FATHER OF THEIR CHILD AT THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICE IS LYING" without sourcing facts is rather unfair. Secondly, the alleged father can request a paternity test at the hearing, if he shows up.  Finally, in some cases, paternity is already established, so there would be no need for the test.

Just the fact that she wasn't honest about who the father actually is can help prove that she's unfit.  Tell him to contact an attorney right away and see about getting custody.
