my baby's dad dose drugs sells drugs drinks and partys, and he said he can still take the baby...?

Answer 1

What planet does he live on? Legally, he will have NO contact with the child if that is the truth of what he is doing. I would say keep your child far away from him until he gets it together! Kids learn what they are around.

Answer 2

So does mine. Do NOT let him have anything to do with the child! Your child's safety is on the line (and mental health down the road).

Most courts will not let him have the child if there's anything in his background that shows that he has problems with alcohol and drugs or has a violent history. At most, he might be able to have supervised visits, but more than likely him telling you that is a way to control you and he really won't try to spend any time with the child.

My ex had supervised visiting rights, but he never once saw my son (of his own choice) nor did he ever pay child support. After five years, I had my ex's parental rights terminated. Some may balk at that saying that my son deserves a father, blah, blah, blah, but I don't think that any child deserves a father that does drugs, gets violent, and lives in an unstable environment. Since I was concerned that should I ever die, my son would go to his father, I terminated his father's rights. My mind is at ease knowing that, should anything ever happen to me, I have already designated someone who will love my child and take care of him as I would.

Answer 3

Well, if you didn't do anything to legally protect your baby, then yes he can take the baby. What the hell were you thinking getting knocked up by a guy who does drugs, sells drugs, drinks and parties? Wait, I know, you weren't thinking. This is a result of your own making. Good luck, you're gonna need it.

Answer 4

If you are not married to the baby's father, the cards are stacked in your favor to begin with because you are the custodial parent. If you are married and he does try to get custody, you can petition the court for sole custody or supervised visits. Most important is to document everything. If you are aware of him buying and selling drugs, report him (anonimously) so that even if he is only jailed for a few days or weeks it will be documented for your court case. I reported my own father when I was a teenager so that when my parents divorced there would be documented proof of his addiction and he would not be able to try and take us. Sad but true.

Answer 5

He obviously doesn't have a clue! The best he could hope for is supervised visitation. If he did try for unspervised visitation a simple drug test, using hair so he couldn't cheat, would stop that. Do not listen to they guy that says he could if he doesn't get too messed up or is just a little high or a little drunk , that's just assinine! He should have a dunce cap on! Drunk is drunk and high is high and neither condition is one in which you can watch a child that needs your full, unchemically altered, attention. Trust your instincts and stick to your guns! Good Luck!

Answer 6

lnot sure what your question is here so I'll comment.

Legally he has as many rights as you do to the child until you get a court order that says otherwise.

However, your decision making skills seem mighty suspect, (or else how do you explain this winner of a baby's father you picked) So how and when or if, you will decide to actually do something that protects the best interest of your child remains to be seen.

Answer 7

Oh, no way on this earth!!!!! What if the baby got into some of his stash!!!! And that's just the first thing I could think of. No way. That's abuse and neglect, and if you let him have YOUR baby knowing that he is that much of a risk to YOUR child, you are abusing the baby, too. Be strong, woman. Don't let him anywhere near your child. If it were me, I wouldn't let him anywhere near me, either. Be the protector, because he obviously abdicated that role a long time ago. Get a lawyer, or go to a crisis center if you have to.

Answer 8

No, he can not take your baby, if he sells drugs, drinks and partys, that is what is called an unfit parent, and you need to let the proper people know that.

Answer 9

Words are powerful and scary and intimidating,but they are just that words. He can't take your child unless the courts deem you as an unfit mother. Even though he's the father if he took your child without your permession that is called "Kid Knapping"! it just seems like he's not going to be a positive part of your or your childs life. So you may need to go ahead and take legeal actions to be far away from him. It's going to be scary and hard, and he may threaten you,but be strong and think of your child. Surround yourself with friends, family, support, church memebers because your going to need the help. So be strong mommy and good luck.

Answer 10

I once called the police on my husband who wouldn't give me my baby back. When they got there they told me that legally they can't do anything with out a court order. I kept telling them he had drugs in the house and he was visibilly high but they wouldn't do anything. I had to leave without getting my son.

A judge's word means everything.

Answer 11

If he's not doing any of that when he has the baby maybe...but if you let him keep the child while any of that is going on or he has any illegal paraphenilia or drugs or his home gets raided your going to lose your child for at least 3 months till you can prove that your a fit parent and its not going to happen again.
