Sorry about the last post my computer crapped out on me. As far as your situation you do not need a lawyer. Wait until the baby is born only beacuse I belive the court would prefer you do. Go down to court and file for a petition for sole custody. They will give you some paperwork to fill out then tell tem you need help with the paperwork. A counsiler will help you fill out the petition. Tell them every reason you want sole custody. They will get you a court date both of you have to be present. When you get in front of the judge he/she will ask the father of the baby if he is willing to give up his rights to the baby. He then just has to say yes and that he understands that he is giving up his rights (this doesn't mean he doesn't have to help you financially. The judge will render his/her decision and off you go. A couple of weeks later you will receive a court document saying you have full sole custody. I would suggest if you need financial help from the father get a petition for that too. They are two different hearings. I just went trough all of this myself over the summer. My daughter is now 16months old. Beleive me if you just want to be happy tell this guy to go away. Love your new baby. Some how they are like magic they give you the strength you need to make it. Best of luck to you. If you need ant help with this just respond if I can help you I will
