My ex-wife won't let me see my child.

File a mediation request with the family court for a visitation exchange with the child. This is a mediation that you file against the person who became the parent.

What you need to arbitrate

[1] One copy of the child's family register (available at the family register section of the city hall)

[2] Revenue stamp 1200 yen fee [3] Some postage stamps

The petition form can be downloaded from the court's homepage.

Visiting and interacting with a child builds a parent-child relationship between a non-custodial parent and the child. The family court will prioritize such interests of the child and proceed with mediation discussions in the direction of allowing visitation and interaction with the child. No matter how much the parents divorce, the child is a father and a mother, and the parent-child relationship lasts a lifetime. The frequency of visitation exchanges, which is usually decided by the family court, is about once a month, but around this time, mediation agreements that allow the exchange of mobile phones and emails have also appeared .
