Hello S.. Although your boyfriend does still have legal rights to the child just as much as you do, the courts will tell you the child does'nt stay the night until they are 3 years of age, unless you allow it. Also, you can ask for visitation to be supervised, and it can be supervised by whomever you wish. Depending on where you live, you need to call the prosecutor's office to get child support set up. They will set up a court date, and everything goes from there. This will not cost you any money to set up, and the court provides you a public defender, so that you dont have to pay for an attorney. If you want full custody, you will have to prove the father unfit, and prove why you want supervised visitation. When I divorced my husband, I went through the same thing with our child. He got only supervised visitation 2 a week, only by me and in my home, and she cant stay the night till she is 3 years old. Hope this all helps you out, and good luck!

If you go with an attorney it is gonna cost you an arm and a leg. First of all fo you have proof that he is the father? I mean is his name on the birht certificate? That is what i did with my son. His birth dad didn't put his name on my son's certificate. So i went to the child support office and filed papers. THey set up a time for us to go to court. Then he was asked if he wanted to take claim or have a paternity test done. He wanted the test. So the 3 of us were tested. He had to pay for it.$117 i think. He is the father. Once we got the results back we talked to a man. we signed papers and he figured out how much he would have to pay me every 2 weeks. Then you can set up the issue of visitation and things like that. I hope this helps. Let me know if you want to know anything else. cause i have been there.

The states attorney or local child support agency can be the "attorney" as far as setting the amount. They are a nuetral party and if you are seeking support, they will handle it. As far as visitation and custody, yes you need a lawyer to get it established legally. Good luck!
