You can't do anything.
Your parents can file a petition to establish parent/child relationship on your behalf.
The state's attorney is usually too busy chasing down robbers to get involved in this unless you want to press it.
Of course, he could deny that he is the father.
sister, what if anything can I do to get her back?

If he has temporary custody, that means there is a court order.
You need to petition the court to modify the court order to give you custody.
There must have been a reason he got temporary custody instead of you.
By the way, Illinois no longer has custody and visitation.... View More 
My boyfriend and I are splitting up. My parents loaned him $3000 to buy the house and he never paid them back. Instead he bought the kitchen appliances with that money and banked the rest. I told him I am taking the appliances when I moved out and he called the police on me stating they were his.... View More

The appliances belong to him because he paid for them.
He owes the debt to your parents and not you.
Even if you had loaned him the money, you could only sue him for the money and not help yourself to his property.
My mom has primary custody right now, but we read that his dad can't terminate rights without someone being willing to adopt.
answered on Nov 25, 2017
There is no such thing as voluntarily giving up rights.
It is possible that a court may approve a parenting plan where he has no involvement and does not pay child support.
Will I need a lawyer to do this? Is the process long? I have been allowing him to visit her at daycare I put her into, can he just leave with her? I allowed him to take her today for the first time for thanksgiving for a couple hours, it went well.

Instead of custody and visitation, Illinois now has parenting plans.
If you can agree, you should both sign and have it approved by the court.
If not, the court will probably order mediation and if that doesn't work, have a hearing.
We have only established paternity, he has a laywer and I do not, to my knowledge he is going for 50/50. She is 3 months old.

Since there is no court order and he is the father, he has equal rights.
Proposed that there be a temporary order for father visitation so you are protected.
My father passed away in 2012 and we have just now been notified of a pension he had after the estate was closed. We are his only heirs and the executors of the estate and there are no beneficiaries. What should we do?
answered on Nov 22, 2017
Usually pensions terminate upon death.
If he or his estate has money coming to him, then a claim with the pension plan should be filed.
There is an amendment in the trust that she “in her capacity as Successor Trustee may receive a stipend of up to the sum of $25,000 as and for compensation for her services as Successor Trustee.” Does this mean she should take the entire amount on top of her inheritance? There was no house,... View More

Stipend is a fixed amount.
It could mean grandma wanted her to take whatever she wanted up to $25,000.00.
we are in a financially pinch because of a job loss, we are concerned that if we do chapter 13 that this will require her parents to be involved because she was added to the deed for when they pass to make things easier. This is a private matter to us and we don't want to involve anyone else.... View More

If she was added to deed she is one-third owner.
Also, if there is a loan, depending on when it was obtained, her interest could be free and clear.
You need to consult with a bankruptcy attorney.
There is no way to get around reporting this ownership interest.
Does not have a will , do they split everything that would have went to his deceased father we are in Illinois

When somebody dies without a will, it goes half to spouse, if there is one, and half to children.
If any child has predeceased, his or her share goes to that child's children.

He won’t give me an address and told me to do the divorce without him.
answered on Nov 3, 2017

My son currently lives with his father. We were not ever married. And he wont bring him or even let him stay at my house. He lives 2 hours away. Since we werent married and never etablished anything in court, who has actual custody of him?
answered on Nov 2, 2017
Technically neither of you have "custody" of the child.
However, if the police get involved they are likely to leave the child where he is until a court orders otherwise.
Is it necessary to have an adoption attorney in this process if everyone is peaceful about the situation?
answered on Nov 2, 2017
Different lawyers charge different ways.
Call some adoption attorneys in your county.
10 months ago I got 3 months court supervision for 2 moving violations which was satisfied.
Last week I received another moving violation.
Will the supervision tickets go toward the DL mandatory suspension?
answered on Nov 1, 2017
If you got supervision, they should not show up on your record as convictions.
That is the whole purpose of supervision.
