Question My ex and i have a 15 month old daughter. We were separated before she was born, then spent one month (when she was 2 months old) all together while his family was visiting from NS. (i wanted to make it easier for them to see our daughter - we were civil at this time...and i thought maybe things could work out) Then when the month was over, my daughter and i moved back to my home province, while her father stayed where he was, the next province over. He did not come to see her on a regular basis and visits did nt go well when he did come to see her. i was present for visits because i am nursing and because our daughter had developed no relationship with him i wanted her to be comfortable. He then picked up and moved further away (5 provinces away). in the past 15 months he has come to see our daughter 5 times. whenever he has come he expects to have her by himself for lengthy periods of time. In the research i have done i've found this is not appropriate or healthy for our daughter. i have tried to explain to him that this is not ok. She has no knowledge of who he is and needs time to build a relationship with him. i told him that visits should be more frequent if he wants things to change. i am wondering how visitation should work in our situation. we have no order or any court proceedings, he always demands a lot. i want him to get to know our daughter, but my main concern is making sure she is comforatble with the process, i'm just confused and not sure how this should work.

I AM NOT A LAWYER or ATTORNEY. I am someone who has experience with family law issues, and am sharing my OPINION only. For the exact law as it pertains to your specific case contact a Professional Attorney in your area/county.
WOW..Brittan I am unsure what NS stands for based on your description "my daughter and i moved back to my home province".
IF this case resides outside the USA Borders, I am unable to answer your question hence I recommend hiring a Professional Attorney: Most Attorneys offer 1/2 free consultation time to discuss case and payment options. Take in ALL your legal papers pertaining to your case and discuss your options.
I am sure the Laws are different in your 'Province' compared to USA.
IF INSIDE USA please clarify what "NS" is, OK.
