My ex and I have a baby. He abandoned me when I was 6 1/2 mos preggo. He's come around from time to time but has offered no support. His parents still do not know about the baby. They recently opened a restaurant and are all very involved. I have given him multiple chances to contribute (time or money) and he has not. I have paid for everything and have no family here. I called him the other night and told him I was taking him to court. He came over the next day and said he was broke and needed 2 years, that he wanted to be there for the baby but has no money. I want to give him a choice. Either tell his parents and help me out a few hours a week, or I file the paperwork and his parents can find out that way, plus be responsible for payments. It's not about the money, however, I have had to find a new job (with less pay) and plus daycare is expensive. I think 2 years is a little too much to ask, b/c what happens after 2 years? What would you do?
