Re: right of a child
Her rights will not be taken away unless she is a danger to the child because the child has a right to have the mother paying child support. Your b/f can file a petition seeking termination of parental rights if he feels she is a danger to the child. Juvenile Dependency court should be able to answer your questions about the current visitation rights, if any, of the mother; your b/f as custodial parent or guardian, will certainly be notified if she is allowed to visit. He could also file a motion in Family Court for child support or seek assistance from the state attorney in this regard.
