What do you have in place in court so far? Any visitation on paper yet? Are you named the father through court or on the birth certificate?...

All of this paper work was done at the hospital at the time of birth, I do have origonals to all papers. We were cohabitating together for over 3 years and everything was all peaches and cream until 7 months after the birth of our child she flipped out and threw me out of what was her condo. Called Police and they made me leave, then immediatly.

If no court oder you have basically no rights to see you child until order are filed and signed by the judge/commissioner.

You need to file papers asap, sounds like paternity was already established.  DOCUMENT everything. You will more than likely be orderes to pay child support as well.

It really does't matter if you were married to her or not, same rules apply.

Take some parenting classes, and infant cpr classes as well.

Remember when going to court to keep it about your child, not about the faults the mother may or may not have.
