It's unfortunate that you missed the hearing. Most CA courts have 'court call' which you could have used instead of traveling to the court.
At this point you would need to file a Request for Order to address custody and visitation and that would have to be in the county and state in which the mom and child reside. This could also be filed in the Child Support Services office to address a more reasonable child support payment.
