Q: My 15 yo sons mother hasn't let me or my family contact him since July .never been married. Previous good relationship
Still sending monthly support even tho there is no court order. Mother has history of Prison time, drug charges and drug abuse. Lives with her mother and other son, who I supported as my own until recently.
Will not let their Maternal grandmother have contact, even though myself and my mother took care of both boys when mom was last incarcerated. She harassed me at work both on the phone and in person.
Has now blocked all calls. Please help
A: Assuming you have established paternity of the child, you have the option to file custody. If not, then you have until child turns 18 to establish paternity and assume parental rights to your child. Act immediately and seek help from a family attorney to know how best to proceed with your case.
