My ex and I never married. He refused tp sign birth certificate so a paternity test was complete since I have state assistance. He has been paying child support only because he is forced to by the state. He has rarely seen our son over the past 4 years. He never calls or comes to visit him. We live 3 hours away from each other.
Recently he told me he’s going after custody of our son completely out of the blue. Obviously he won’t get custody but I don’t want him to have visitation because he is mentally, physically and emotionally abusive in addition to being an alcoholic. He has a domestic violence case on his record and 2 DUI’s. In addition to several reports documented by police but no action taken.
What are his rights to visitation?
The attorney I spoke to said he has to legally prove paternity through the court and the state issued paternity test was only for child support.
