Re: child visitation
Assuming you've never been to court before reagarding your child, you need to file a petition for paternity in Florida or something similar in Georgia (I don't know what because I don't practice in Georgia). Whether you need to file in Florida or Georgia depends on how long your son has been in Georgia. You'll need to go to court to establish visitation or custody.
