Your fiance has a right to see and spend time with his son as well as to know about and be part of the decisions to be made on his behalf for matters such as education, health and religion. I suggest that your fiance file a complaint for custody in the county court where mom and the child reside. He has a right to file the complaint on his own behalf or to hire an attorney to assist him in filing the complaint. The complaint once filed must be served on mom. The court will schedule a hearing or conference at which time your fiance and mom will appear. As the result of this hearing, the court will issue an order regarding both physical custody and legal custody of the child and the rights of each parent. If you would like additional information, please call me. I would be happy to arrange a convenient time for us to further discuss your circumstances and how we may be able to help.
