File a Petition for Child Custody or Visitation
Often, the first phase of a child custody or visitation proceeding is filing a petition. This petition is a document that will include what you’re requesting. You should include that you’re an unwed father hoping to gain access to your child in a way that is in the child’s best interest. If you are planning to request visitation, custody or both, you’ll document it here, as well.
Custody and visitation aren’t the same thin. If you missed our previous blog series talking about all the different types of custody and visitation, be sure to visit back with them, below, to get a better understanding of what each is.
