Re: child visitation and custody
You have little or no rights as to the 9 year old. As to the 3 year old you should establish paternity and have a visitation order entered.
Most court have fill in the blank forms. While I do not recommend representing yourself, you obviously have greater budgetary priorities.

Re: child visitation and custody
Well, you have a catch 22. If you wait too long, the mother will 'establish a routine' for the child, and the judge next year will likely rule that the child should not be disrupted from his routine. If the other parent is cutting you off, there really is only one way (the courts) to take care of this. Sometimes, beginning a legal custody fight brings the other party to talking.
