A: If you haven't established paternity (assuming you are not married to your child's mother), you will need to file a petition to establish paternity, custody, timesharing and child support. After finding you to be the legal father, the Court will determine what is in the best interest of the child regarding timesharing. Be sure to contact a family law attorney to discuss the specifics of your case.
