Unmarried fathers rights?

onelove1

I am curious how much access is generally granted to unmarried fathers in Ireland? How old would the child be before over nights were included? What would need to happen for an order for access to be supervised? Is supervised access very rare? Do previous convictions or a violent history effect a mans ability to secure access in court? Thanks in advance.

It doesn’t matter whether the parents were married or not. From my experience overnight access is easily granted for year old children. Supervised access is quite rare in normal circumstances but I have no experience with convictions.

These are not easy questions to answer, as each case is dependant on the circumstances and the individuals involved.

www.treoir.ie or onefamily.ie are very good for advice.
