I wanna know what my baby's father rights are. As of now he doesnt know about the baby. When he finds out what are his rights? He lives in Colorado, I live in Utah. The baby was born here in Utah and the father has not been around since I have known I was pregnant.
What are my rights? I dont want my baby taken away from me.

I have had the baby he is now 5 mo old. I am worried about him taking me to court because I cant afford it. I hadnt talked to or seen him or even know where he is at. It wasnt a one time fling, but he is not fit to parent. I ran into a friend of his with my son and she says she runs into him occasionally and will tell him for me the next time she sees him. I just want to be prepared for him incase he attempts something his sister is a lawer.

I know a bit about custody I am not sure how that works between different state though. My son was born here in Utah, and last I knew the father was in Colorado. When I threw him outta my house he had no place to go last I knew he was sleeping in his car.

you wont have your baby taken away from you hunny,
the babies father doesnt have any rights unless he wants to be in the babies life and take responsibilty for the baby. only if you agree with it though.
you didnt marry him so therefore he has no rights unless he goes to court to gain parental responsibility which basically means he will be able to have a say and make decisions about the childs life.
your baby will be safe have no fear it will not be taken from you unless there is good grounds. (i.e you are not a good mum or you do drugs stuff like that)
as you dont live near each other he doesnt have to know that you are pregnant anyway unless you want him too.
you need to decide what is best for you and your baby is it best to tell him and let him share the responsibility or is he a complete idiot that is best left not knowing.
good luck with your baby stop worrying and enjoy your pregnancy. you'll soon be up to your ears in baby sick and dirty nappies.

You have nothing to worry about courts rarely take a child from its mother unless they are proven unfit. The father would have rights though mostly likely he would be given visitation
If he wanted to he could go after joint-custody. I guess you could list no one on the birth certificate but I don’t think that would be right. A father has a right to know about his child, was this a one time fling, do you feel he would be a good father?

I don't think you need worry about losing custody of your baby. But your baby's rights are important. He should know so that he can sign paternity papers. If he should become disabled or dies before the child is age 18, you would be able to receive social security benefits for your child. There would be nothing negative about paternity acknowledgment. Legalizing everything is always the best route to go.

You should go to a law library in your State or speak with an Attorney of Family Law matters (re:// child custody)...
If you truly need legal advice...take some from professionals who know your states laws, not stangers on Y!A...
Good Luck *
