Husband has a son in Previous relationship and the Mother will not allow him to have any contact with his Son until 18yrs of age. I believe this is crap and very unfair on the Son and can only imagine what he thinks of he dad. We have been down the road of legal help and have got nowhere. Has anyone else been down this path and how did you cope?

Why have you got no where with legal help? set up mediation.
if your partner is saying this, he might not be telling the truth, i only say this because my ex left me and our two kids and told his new lady (with kids) that i wouldnt allow my kids there and she thinks its me but its not. i received a nasty text from.her one day asking how can i keep my children from their father its not right etc.. i did not reply, just changed my number... the truth is hes a deadbeat dad and wants to forget his kids/ responsibilities. He figures if he pays child support then thats all he needs to do. Time he spends with our kids is more important than any amount of money.
My junkie ex has been has been allowed visitation with my 2.5 year old! Unsupervised... Unless he is abusive to the child he is able to gain access very easily! Weather she likes it or not she can't stop him from seeing this child. Something doesn't add up to me.
Something sounds amiss here to me... Unless he is abusive to this child he can have access very easily! Put it this way... My junkie ex has unsupervised access to my 2.5 year old (not just DVO's but breeches of the order too) and yes that is court ordered. Quite plainly weather she likes it or not he has rights. I have a feeling he may not be trying for access as hard as you think.
