out of state custody

[cottoncandy]

i live in maryland. my fiance has just found out that he has a 10 year old daughter, which paternity has just been proven in the last 2 months. the daughter lives in colorado. the mother is not willing to give him visitation. he has been ordered to pay $6oo in child support. since the mother has filled for child support shouldn't the father be allowed visitation regardless of what state he lives?

You are right but you will have to get a attorney where the child is. Then you will have to file for visitation or custody. Why did he just find out about his daughter? He would have to travel there at first I would guess till he gets to know her better. After this you would get summer visits, spring break, some holidays. All of this is what you should get but first you should get an attorney. he will know the laws of that state. Hope I helped.
