Answer 2

The courts will not take your child away from you unless there is a valid reason. However, you also need to understand that the court will also give the father visitation rights and possibly partial custody. While this may not seem fair to you, it is in the best interest of the child that both parents be involved in a childs life unless there is a valid reason for this not to happen. Unfortunately, your ex filing paperwork on the day before your birthday won't be seen as a valid reason to keep him from a relationship with his son. My advice would be to hire an attorney and try to work out an agreement with him so that he has some visitation rights but also demand child support. Just because you have issues with this person doesn't mean you have the right to keep him from a relationship with his child.

Answer 3

child custody is a civil issue.
