Does my daughter have to agree to joint custody?
Full Question:
My daughter has been served court papers to appear for hearing to establish paternity of her 2 year old child. She is unaware of who the father is and someone has now stepped forward. He has also stated on the document that he would like to have joint custody if he is the father. Does she have to agree to joint custody, not knowing who anything about this person? Will he have to pay child support regardless?
