If he is the father, he will have the same rights as you. You two would share jointcustody. Unless he takes you to court however, to establish a visitation schedule, you don’t have to let him have her at all. He will have to pay child support and the court will decide if and when he gets overnights after taking his living arrangements any other concerns you have into consideration.

Q: My granddaughter has lived with me since June 2018 due to her mom's eviction. Can I file for guardianship or custody?
Answered on Nov 5, 2018
You need to wait until you have had her for six months and then you will achieve de facto custodian status and stand on the same footing as her mother. You have to have her and provide for her for six months, not five or less, before you can claim this status. Id sit on it for another month and then you can filed for custody.

Q: Grandparents alienating situation
Answered on Oct 13, 2018
You can’t really bar the grandparents from communicating with the son but you can show they are manipulating him to pursue custody for their agenda, not his. Custody visitation and child support are always modifiable so you need to be able to show that equal time is NOT in the best interests of the child.

1) Let her go and wait to see if she pursues anything against you.
2). File your own petition to establish paternity and custody and seek share parenting.
3). Really depends on whether you want a relationship with the child.
