You are correct. Since there is no order in place, either parent may take the child wherever he or she wants. However, it is a bad idea for you to go to Pennsylvania and take the child back to Mississippi against your wife's will. There very well could be a physical confrontation that could... View More

I think that you have the title a little mixed up. Hire a MS attorney to search the title and then advise you of the status. He probably can sell his estate in the land.

Visitation and child support are separate issues. The lack of visitation does not mean no child support is owed.

Paternity would need to be established before filing against him for child support. Once the Court determines he is the biological father, child support may be awarded based on a certain percentage of the father's adjusted gross income. The percentage will depend on how many children are involved.
