Re: Full custody of my daughter.
If your local court has a facilitators office you may contact them to help you with the paperwork. Your child may be entitled to collect social security benefits based upon her father's disability. I do not know if you will need a judgment of paternity or maybe only a birth certificate in order to be entitled to those benefits. You may wish to contact social security or a social security attorney. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
