Are you an unmarried father looking for visitation with your child? Or, are you an unmarried mother who wants child support?
The first step is to establish a legal father-child relationship. This step is necessary to establish custody and visitation rights when the parents are not married to each other. Paternity is established through DNA testing. A father has the right to seek and have partial or full custody of his child so he can be involved in his child’s life. This process allows the father to have the same rights that a divorce father would have.
