My first question to you is how old is the child. The reason for this question, is that generally, a person has up to two (2) years to set aside a Declaration of Paternity. As of this juncture, you are her father as a matter of law. Accordingly, you may sue for custody and visitation. I would highly suggest that you find LOCAL competent family law counsel to help you with this. Good luck!
