What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I have a four year old child who lives with his mother in Miami Beach Florida. I live in upstate NY. The mother and I never married. I am the father of the child and my name appears in the child's birth certificate as his father. The child was born in Bronx, NY mother and the child moved to Florida when he was about two years old.
I left the country at the first weeks of my child's pregnancy since my student visa expired. I return to my home country and lived overseas for the past four years, and I could not enter the US due to my immigration status at the time. Now that I hold a permanent immigrant residency status (two year conditioned by marriage an American citizen) I returned to New York six month ago and I want to see my child.
My wife and I will be relocating in Phoenix, AZ in August where we will live.
My question is how can I initiate visitation rights with my child when he lives in Miami Beach and I live in another state? I contacted New York family court and they told me that I need to start my case directly with Miami beach family court, however when I call Miami family court they redirect me to a self-help directory that does not explain how to proceed in my case.
There is a beginning case for child support in Miami regarding my son, however the process is in the initial phase, and I was told by a clerk that this is just regarding child support not visitation rights.
Please help me indicating how to file in my case. Thank you.
