Re: What is my sons legal rights to his son?
It is not required that your son quit school and get a job. That would only harm him and his son in the long run. Your son should file an agreement between the parties or a Paternity action stating that he is the father. With this two things happen, one, he has the right to request visitation and be involved in the decisions about his son, and two, he has a responsibility to support his son and must pay child support.
