He can get himself to the family court as soon as possible and petition for visitations and/or joint custody of the children. Once he has established his paternity his right of access to the children must be addressed before the court will allow the children to be moved with the mother to another state. Of course, once established as the biological father he may become subject to a child support order as well. If possible he should seek advice from a family law attorney.

However, since no marriage existed between the parents, it will in this case be necessary for the father to file suit for custodial rights before he can pursue any other actions against the absentee mother. In addition, paternity must be established by the father to the satisfaction of the court according to the laws of the state in which the child was born, before the court will take the custodial matters and other issues pertaining to the child into consideration.

It depends on the court order. if there is a court order established then it will usually state the specifics. You can have private child support which means you pay the custodial parent directly or you can have your check garnished and it can be sent from your employer to the court house of the state of the custodial parent where they will distribute it.
