Has there been a paternity test? This is the only way you can
have any say with your child. You need to contact an attorney
and file for a paternity suit which encompasses custody and
child support. And if you are paying anything to the mother or
for the child all this is considered a gift prior to the test.
I too am a father who has gone through the Macomb County FOC
and until you are proven (DNA test) to be the father you are a
legal stranger and has no say in anything.
