If you were never marriage, you will need file a petition for allocation of responsibilities, in which you will get a court order on parenting time, child support and decision making. If you both have attorneys, you can sometimes get through it without ever appearing in court. If only one party or neither has an attorney, you will be in court at least twice. You can get orders for temporary child support and for one party to pay the other's legal fees at the end depending on the economic circumstances of the parties. If it is going to be contentious, a lawyer can be very helpful. I hope this helps.
