I have a son that is almost 4 months old, his dad and I haven't been together since I was about 2 months pregnant with Kasen. Since my son has been born, his dad has only seen him about a dozen times. I work so hard with him, and get nothing in return. I do everything for my son, his dad has done absolutly NOTHING for his son. Him and I have a rough past, but I have put that aside for my son. I am getting fed up with the lies, and the crap from him that I want to take him to court. how do I persue that?

A dozen times in 4 months? That's actually quite a bit.
Before going to court I would try and set up with a mediator (someone at the courthouse should be able to tell you how to arrange this) and your ex for the two of you to work out a custody, visitation, and child support order. It will be MUCH cheaper if you can come up with an agreement together and just have it notarized by the court. If that doesn't work out... it's best to get a lawyer and have them handle it, but that can get quite expensive.

Walk into civil court and talk to the clerk, let them know you want set up visitation and child support, they should give you whatever paperwork you need. If you have the money hire a lawyer, it'll be less stress on you.
