Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
The father of a 2 month old child has taken a paternity test and it determined that the child was his. He is afraid that the mother will not allow him to see the child because he does not want a relationship with her, what should he do?

If the mother and father were not married to one another at conception or birth and are not now married to one another, the father will need to petition the court for visitation rights.
The father's best option is most likely going to be to retain an attorney and file an action in Family Court to seek visitation (or custody). Of course, more information would be needed about his specific situation before any specific advice could be given.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
