Answer 1

Go to your local Child Protective Services agency. Have the father tell them the nature of his concerns and see if they can help you. They can give you referrals and other advice there. Good luck!!

Answer 2

Just wanting a child is not a good reason to be awarded custody. In most states its almost impossible for a father to get full custody, as the courts wants a child to stay with its mother. Alot of times this isn't fair.

However, lets look at what your b/f really has to offer. He doesn't make enough to afford a lawyer, how is he going to afford a child?

He's apparently not responsible enough to not reproduce with women he isn't married to, so how is he going to be responsible for a child?

He's not married to you, so what plans does he have to provide his child with a foundation of good honorable character that will guide and nurture his child into adulthood?

I'm not saying his mother has anything of these things. She apparently puts her b/f's before her child. But if your b/f is serious, he will do the things a man needs to do to prove that he is responsible enough to be a father. The first thing is to figure out what he can sacrifice in his life to afford a good lawyer for legal advice and to represent his best interest in family court.

Answer 3

there's never an easy answer to these questions. As a divorced male with a 10 yr. old son, I have a biased opinon. but above all do what's right for the childs best intrest. The wants of both biological parents should not come first.
