Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Establishing parernity

How does a man go about establishing that he is the father of a child? What is a Putative father registry?

Does a father have any rights to a child if the mother has a child neglect suit filed in court against her by the state? How could the father intercede in getting a child in this situation?

Any answeres would be greatly appreciated.
