If your name is not on the birth certificate and paternity has not been determined, the police may not consider you to be the father. Depending on the police officers that respond, the officers may tell you and the mother that you two should take each other to family court. Or, the officers may decide that you apparently have nothing to prove that you have legal rights to the child and arrest you if you do not return the child.
You likely should look into legally establishing that you are the father and obtain court orders to settle what your rights and responsibilities are. You should review your facts and options with an attorney. |
