More details to this question:
I had an encounter with a girl who will be 18 in September. I’m older than her. Protection didn't work and she is pregnant. She wanted to rid the pregnancy. I asked her not to and that I would take the child. She agreed. She doesn't want the child. My name will be on the birth certificate. What should I do to make sure I get my child? She assured me she doesn't want this child. She has plans to go back to school. I understand how she feels but I'm against abortion.

1. Hire a lawyer; do NOT try to do this yourself. 2. Fill out a registration form for the putative father's registry to protect your rights. You should be able to get a form online or at your local health department. 3. With the help of a lawyer, you can obtain custody with mom's consent after the child is born.
