Re: parental rights
As the natural father, assuming that no court orders have been entered, you have a right to visitation. I assume that paternity has be acknowledged and recorded in the court. If these assumptions are correct, I would file a motion in court to establish custody and visitation issues. This will, also, generate a motion to establish child support plus any amounts owed to the State for any medical bills and support that the State has paid. I believe you need to seek a consultation with an attorney as there are many issues that are involved when a minor child is involved. Do yourself a favor and seek personal advice from an attorney before taking any action. I hope this helps, Tom Noonan
