Description
Plaintiff, Clement Pritz, Jr., appeals from an order of the circuit court of Cook County which dismissed his verified "Complaint for Declaratory Judgment to Establish Paternity of Child and Right of Visitation." The complaint names Elizabeth Bonnie Chesnul and Ericka Christine Pritz Chesnul as defendants and contains the following allegations: that plaintiff is the natural father of Ericka who was born on May 27, 1977; that the childs birth certificate bears the name of Ericka Christine Pritz Chesnul; that plaintiff and defendant Elizabeth dated exclusively from approximately January 1976 to May 1977; that after the child was born, plaintiff voluntarily contributed substantially to the support and maintenance of the child and that he continues to do so; that plaintiff and defendant Elizabeth were never lawfully married; that plaintiff has been allowed to visit with the child on a continuing basis; and that the plaintiff on many occasions has been permitted to spend an entire weekend with the child. In his prayer for relief, plaintiff sought a judgment declaring that he is the natural father of Ericka and establishing his support obligation and visitation rights. He also prayed that the court consider awarding care, custody and control of Ericka to him. Significantly, the complaint does not purport to be based on the Paternity Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 40, pars. 1351 et seq.).
