Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
My daughters biological father is trying to be in her life when he hasn't been since she was born. I denied him from seeing her so now he trying to take me to court. I need to know if he could even have a case against me. I already gave him the oppurtunity to be in her life and he choose not to be so I explained to him that he will not be able to jump in and out of her life and he hasn't called me back til now. I believe it isn't in her best interest or ours for him to be in her life due to his lies and deceit. Please let me know if I have a good ground to stand on. Thank You

If you have denied the father access to the child, then he certainly has a case against you. Now, the questions for the Court will be: (a) whether your denial was just; (b) was it in the child's best interest; and (c) what's in the child's best interest now. Unless you can prove that he poses some threat or danger to the child, then it's very likely that the Court will allow him to have some type of visitation with the child.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
