Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa
i sent my son to live with his dad while i am in drug rehab. his father is not on the birth certificate and had no part in our lives until about a year ago. if he disagrees about when i can come get my son, does he have any legal right to keep him?

Is there a custody and support order in place, or anything else that entitles you to demand that he surrender the child? He's a parent, right? If he is, his rights are equal to yours.
