I currently live in Ohio, my daughter lives in Florida with her mother, I pay child support for her, we have not ever been married . I would like visitation rights with my daughter. What do I need to do to obtain these rights or do I have any right to visitation.

Re: visitation
Normally you would have the same visitation rights regardless of whether you were married. Is the support that you pay Court Ordered, if so, you would file a Petition with that Court to modify the Final Order so as to provide for visitation. If not, you would file a Petition to establish visitation. This would probably be filed in Florida assuming that your daughter has not just moved to Florida.
Re: visitation
You are entitled to visitation with your daughter. You will need to file a Petition to Establish Visitation here in Florida. The basic form to do so can be found online, but it's a good idea to have an attorney look it over before you file it. Give me a call or e-mail if I can be of further help.
By the way, how is my alma mater "Miami University" doing out there in Oxford?
