    Default What Happens if a Child You Didn't Know About is Taken by CPS

    My question involves paternity law for the State of: ohio and wisconsin . My fiencee just got a call from his ex girlfriend saying thay have a almost 2 year together. We told the mother we wanted a DNA test so we can take care of the child if it his. She also went on and told us cps stepped in when the baby was 4 montjs old and was taken and put into carw of the aunt and uncle of the mom and given full custody. We have talked to cps and they told us child support is who we need to talk to so wr called and left a message. Now we r waiting to get called back. Our questions are
    1) since we never knew of this child and if it is his can we get custody of the baby since the aunt and uncle habe full custody?
    2) if it is his child will cps keep the baby with the aunt and uncle and not allow us to see her and make us pay child support?
    3) could cps take custody away from the aunt and unclr and give it to him and i?

    Before the putative father can be considered for custody, it will be necessary for there to be a home study, and perhaps additional steps taken to ensure that he can provide a safe, secure and appropriate home. The social services agency and the court will also look at how the child is faring in the present custodial environment. The nature of that arrangement (e.g., an out-of-home placement under a child protective order vs. a guardianship outside of the context of protective proceedings) may affect what steps might have to be taken to successfully seek visitation or custody.

    He can be ordered to support his child if the child is in somebody else's care.
