Re: child visitation

None at this time.

You can seek such rights by hiring a lawyer and seeking legitimization, which also will determine custody, support and other issues.

Re: child visitation

You have no access rights to the child, only a duty to support. Failure to support the child could result in criminal abandonment charges filed by the mother. To get access rights you need to file a legitimation action. You should consult with a family law attorney to do this. Once legitimated you can establish your parental rights, such as custody and visitation.

You can get visitation rights but only through a court order. Consult with a local attorney.
