Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama

What do I need to do in order to get visitation rights to my daughter? I have been attempting to get in touch with her mother but I get no answer or reply. I'm not on the birth certificate either. HELP!

If you know where she lives, go to family court in that county and file a petition for paternity and visitation. Then once she is served you will take a blood test to be declared the father and once that comes back it will be determined. Keep in mind that you will have to pay child support and once you file this they can go back 2 years for retroactive child support.
