You need to establish your paternal relationship with the child and obtain sole legal and physical custody, both of which can be done by stipulation if she agrees.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.

To enforce your agreement and make it rock solid it will have to be the order of the court. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.

Re: Custody to the father

You need to file a petition for paternity and get a court order that you are the father. Then you could get a court order that you will be the custodial parent while she is going to school and until she gets a job. This agreement should also provide for visitation. In regard to child support you can agree that the child's needs will be met without her paying any child support.
