I've been with my boyfriend for a year. He has a 9 month old daughter but he still isn't allowed her alone, her mum hasn't stopped access, but is just very controlling. She won't meet up anywhere other than locally to herself though she doesn't work or have any commitments, she refuses to change time or day for seeing her if anything changes after access is arranged no matter how flexible boyfriend is, and she won't even let boyfriend go out of sight with the baby. He's finding it hard, he says it doesn't feel like she's his daughter because he's always being watched and micromanaged.
I have been able to see her three times but now she's saying no to that too.
How can we persuade her to stop being so controlling and realise she's my boyfriends baby too?
He is paying a large maintenance payment each month so court would be a last resort, has anyone else had a similar situation and what helped get a good outcome? Its causing so much stress in our relationship at the moment.
