Legal Question in Family Law in Wisconsin

Here is my situation, my daughter is six years old, her biological father left when I was pregnant. He has never met her, had contact with me or payed child support. I was given full custody. My question; does he have any rights right now? Does he have any right to see her without taking me to court? I live in Wisconsin, any help would be appreciated.

Richard Missimer Missimer Law, S.C.

By Statute WI STAT 767.82(2m)

(2m) CUSTODY PENDING COURT ORDER. If there is no presumption

of paternity under s. 891.41 (1) or if paternity is acknowledged

under s. 767.805 (1), the mother shall have sole legal custody

of the child until the court orders otherwise.

SO, until he files a paternity action he has no legal rights whatsoever.
