You can file a petition for custody, but if the father is working, you should also include a demand for child support. He has a duty to support the child regardless of whether he wishes to exercise visitation rights. If he's employed you can get an earnings withholding order requiring his employer to send the support directly to you out of his paycheck. You should contact a lawyer who handles family law cases for assistance.
