The state where the child presently resides is the state that has jurisdiction. If the child is unborn, then they would have to wait until the child is born, do the paternity test (DNA) and if he was the father, he could then file for custody in the state where the child resides. It would then be up to the mother to try to proof in court that the lowlife is an unfit father. Good luck!

Have to file where the child resides, unless they resided in that other state for some period of time very near the time of filing.
So yes, he can file, but that state doesn't have jurisdiction over the child.

Truth is she/he didn't say Washington D.C. was a state she asked in what state it is in. Meaning where is it located. And I don't want to sound mean or rude but we didn't asked the person with the "best answer" how life was there we asked in what state it's located in. P.S. I know I really won't get many votes or anything but people go of track and started to talk about how Washington DC wasn't a state and how it was a federal district. We want to know WHICH STATE it is IN

chris m. is right.
all states have agreed that only the state of residence of the child will have jurisdiction over any custody dispute regarding that child.

Nope. You have to file where the child resides.
