In order for the father of the minor child to obtain some semblance of vistiation rights or custody, he needs to consult with a family law attorney to either daft a stipulation and order for the mother of the minor child to date and sign to be filed in the court where the child support agreement arises and if that is not acceptable, to file a petition with the court for visitation and or some semblance of custody.
