What anyone else would do in that situation. Talk to an attorney and take some legal action. He WILL help you out and he can either do it the easy way or the hard way.

well if you are mad at him i am sure he is also mad at you! Men seem to have a difficult time separating the children from the mother. If they are mad at the mom, they don't see the kids. The best advice i can give you is to try and keep him in the babies life. send him pictures, keep him updated on how the baby is doing. Stay as calm and nuetral as you can. If he thinks there is hostility he will stay away. you may also want to make it clear to him that it is all about the baby and not you. If he does come to visit, give him time alone with his child. Also you might want to encourage his parents to be involved. It will be easier for you and the baby if you have all the support you can get.

It's sad that you can't make people do what you want huh? All I can suggest is child support, at least you'll have some financial help. Some people need to grow up, children need both parents in their life even if there not together in a relationship. Sorry for what your going through I know it's tough, I've been there at the young age of fifteen, good luck!

If you know you cannot work it out between you , you need to do whats best for the baby. Yes you may not want to take legal action but it would be best. That way the baby still has a mother a father. If he can walk out on you, what makes you think he wont walk out on his baby! wait, he already did.

Sure you can take him to court for the financial burden. But you can't get a judge to force him to be a father. It's sad but true but you are going to have to step up and take care of your baby all by yourself. Sure family members will be there to help you from time to time but it wont be enough. Just grow up, know the father wont help physically, and enjoy the time with your newborn.

They have child support services for that money part. As far as the actually hands on, well good luck. I am still working on my husband with that. I don't think he realizes it is not illegal for him to change a diaper or take a toddler to the bath room

Unfortunatly all you can do is take him to court for child support. And do your best with what you have. Believe me, it pisses me off that the mother is the one to be put in these situations, the father can just leave.

Talk to a lawyer and get some form of custody and child support worked out.
