| When the child is born you will take yourself to the courthouse and file a petition for visitation rights to your child -- barring a record as an axe murderer you should be able to expect to be granted your motion. Be aware that with a newborn your visits will be brief (usually 1 -3 hours one or two days a week) and will increase in length as the child is older. I don't know your exact situation but I will say that all too often one or the other parent in these things will play this game of "I won't let you see him/her" and the ONLY one who is truly hurt is the child so PLEASE take the initiative and get your rights to be a part of this child's life!!!!
The papers are such that you can actually complete and file them yourself so that you can avoid the expense of an attorney or you can find an attorney who would be willing to work with you on a payment plan arrangement**************.be aware, though, that when you pursue your rights to the child you will also find yourself involved in a support case so be ready to start providing for your child emotionally AND financially**************..
There should be more men like you who WANT to be a part of their child's life**************
Good Luck and God Bless
