Hi Man

Nobody can deprive you from seeing your daughter... not even your wife or her parents... you have as much right to spend time with a baby as your wife does... remember you are both parents.. and regardless how things go between you and your wife... nobody can cancel your the fact that you are the father regardless if they rich or not. This is law.

Now what you need to do is bring your finances in order and stay clam. Then you need to contact a lawyer... probably the one in Pakistan (especially if you got married there)... explain the situation and ask him to take action on your behalf... try to find a lawyer based on a good reference from a friend.

Before going to lawyer you also need to send her emials (polite and calm) asking her to remember that you are a father and that you have equal right and responsibilities in raising the baby.. of course try to make up if you can.. but if not tell her in a civil manner... that you want an arrangement that works for both of you that allows you to spend plenty of time with a baby.

These things happen every single day... and people start feeling bad about it... but it is life.. so you gotto keep your cool. Whatever you do dont get involved into emotional fights or be subject of emotional blackmail... stay cool... think what would a civilized intelligent person do.. what would you advice for your friend to do.. and act accordingly.
