Please trust me that you need to speak to a family lawyer not a shade tree lawyer from Y!A. Please go to social services of family services and if you cannot afford one they can see that one gets appointed to you or one on a sliding scale basis. This is one of the most important things in your life and everything has to be done properly and all the i's have to be dotted and t's have to be crossed. Please get a family lawyer...most of the time they will cost you nothing. Good luck.
Happy Holidays!!!

How does a lawyer not cost you anything.....I am very confused by that persons answer.
If you are the mother, and you were not married at the time of birth congrats yu already have 100% legal custody until the father asks the court to grant him his legal rights.
If you are the father you simply need to motion the court for paternity, and visitation. There will be a DNA test required.
I do not know what other custody papers you could be talking about.
