If the mother and child reside in SC, then it's not as simple as you coming to get the child, because in SC unmarried mothers have sole custody until the Court says otherwise. If you came and got the child, you could find yourself charged with kidnapping. Other states may have different laws though.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
