My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Indiana
I have a child with my girlfriend and we are unmarried. If something were to happen to her would I automatically get custody of my son. The reason I am saying this is because my girlfriend's dad is saying that I would need to go through the courts to establish paternity on my son. He is doing this because he obviously wants me to get into the courts for child support reasons and because he wants our son. Which Im not a dead beat and support my son 100%, but I have been disagreeing on the subject. But since I am the father obviously I would get custody if god forbid somthing happened to my fiance right?
Sorry for the rambling.
Thanks
Chad
