Re: visitation rights for unmarried fathers
None in Utah unless established by a court. You will need to inquire in Washington to create any rights there.
Re: visitation rights for unmarried fathers
You absolutely have the right to visitation and communication with your son. You will need to file the proper action in the District Court seeking the relief you're requesting. There may be some complicated issues however regarding which state now has proper jurisdiction over the matter.
