SUBSCRIBEDear Stephen,Â
I am farming at home on my parents' farm. I had a relationship with a woman with whom I had a child with, a little boy who is two years old, but unfortunately, our relationship has broken down in the past few months and she has moved and taken my son with her and she is refusing to give me access to him. What are my rights and what advice can you offer me?
