Ok, So My Baby's father showed up yesterday around 1ish to give me a handfull of paper work that just so happens to be that he wants full custody of the baby when she is born. I have no idea how he manages to do it but he told me his lawyer said he has a good shot. I was completly blind sided by this and have no idea what to do..

WTF?jaw drop
IS HE TOTALLY OUT OF HIS FLIPPING MIND?

Unless ur a drug fiend or axe murder cleverly hiding your second life,no freaking way in HEXX will he get full custody.
DO NOT sign any papers and tell him where to get off or give him my addy and I'll tell himvery mad


I don't know if you have a lawyer or not but sound like you need a family law specialist,I'd give you the name of mine but I'm up north.

I agree. Get a good lawyer that specialises in family and don't sign anything without consulting your lawyer. Chances are these are just scare tactics. He's obviously very selfish and a complete idiot if he thinks putting you under this much pressure and stress is good for you or the baby. Unless he can prove you are an unfit mother,he hasn't got a leg to stand on because 9 times out of 10, the courts will give custody to the mother. I'm no expert so i think the sooner you hear this from a professional, the sooner your mind will be put at ease. I'd also suggest that you tell him if he wants to contact you to do it through your lawyer. Like i said, this stress is not good for you or the baby so the less contact you have with him, the better!hug

Don't let him get to you,unless there are major skeletons somewhere,and I mean major,the best he will get is the standard custody until the baby is older.
Here that means every other weekend,alternating holidays and birthdays and summer vacation.
If he lives in another state joint custody would be out because of schooling but I'm jumping ahead.... I think I may be madder than youlaugh sorry...it just gets to me.

Am here if need behug

Hard as it is try to keep calm for the sake of yourself and the baby. You can get loads of support from your friends, but the only person that can give you right advice is a lawyer, the sooner you do this and understand exactly what your position you will feel better. hug

See? This is exactly what i mean! Tell him to talk to your lawyer in future. You need this stress like a hole in the head. What is it with him that he thinks he can desert you for five months and then suddenly show up, shouting the odds? Guys like that give the rest of us a bad name!

I always thought custody cases where handled by a state to state matter. Differing laws and guidlines from state to state when custody of a child is in dispute. Some states simply do not recognize others state courts rulings or decisions.

Check your home state laws pertaining custody... if this is ruled in his favor in Texas it may only mean you'll have to avoid the surrounding states of Texas as well as Texas. neighboring States usually will enforce each others laws and decisions.

Another option is relocate to a state where maternal custody rights are strongest.

Good Luck and do not procrastinate on this matter.

I don't care what he has, there is no excuse for treating the mother of his unborn child like that. He should have more respect for you, pregnant or not!
