I am an unwed texas father, with a son in Florida. Since the day he was born the mother and I agreed on a certain amount of child support, which I have been regularly paying. My name was not listed on the birth certificate, but we have agreed to change that now, and he will also have my last name. I did have dna done, so I know for sure he is mine.
My question is this..without going through the court system, is there anyway to establish visitation with my son? Right now the mother lets me see him when I am in florida but only on her terms and with her present.
If I take her to court for visitation rights, will that change the already agreed upon child support I am paying each month? I want to provide for my son, but I also want to be able to see him without his mother present. She only does this for spite, nothing more, nothing less.
Please help.
