Re: with out fathers consent

If your child has been a resident of the

Commonwealth within the six months preceding

the child's removal from the state, you could file for custody in your local Juvenile & Domestic

Relations District Court.

You could also retain an attorney to represent

you in the other state to get established in a

court order your rights having to do with visitation and your obligation to pay child

support spelled out, exactly, to whom and

how often.
