If you are a father who did not wed the mother of your child, you have a legal right to request child custody and visitation, unless the court has legally named you the child's father.
If you are a single father who wants to reenter your child's life after an absence, you must initiate a paternity action to begin the process of child visitation and custody.
In the event that you and your spouse divorced, it is required that the court issue a parenting order during the child support proceeding to establish access to your child.
If you are pending a divorce or are a single father and need to legally confirm custody or visitation, get in touch with the family law office of Binning & Plambeck to get the legal help you need to be in your child's life again.
