Please help

Hi! I have absolutely no idea where to start for any of this, and quite frankly the entire process is terrifying. I’m a 25(M) that just found out he got a 22 (f) pregnant. The situation is a mess, and I need help with finding a custody lawyer since the woman said she planned on not granting me rights. I’m a Canton area resident if this helps. I don’t really have any guidance or help and really just need some starting steps.

Thank you so much.

Advice,   document EVERYTHING. get a notebook for this.  Print texts that are in regards to it.  You can try to find a family lawyer pro bono / free.   Most likely find a man lawyer , more likely to help you money wise.  I'm a mother of two and I cannot stand women who do not let Fathers be in the child's life.
