Thank you.

I gave birth to a preemie and the father stated for me to have an abortion and that he was not the father. I have taken care of her and her critical condition for four years with no financial support from him and I have assumed that he abandoned her. I have went on with my life and reconciling with my exhusband (child born out of wedlock). My exhusband has assumed the role of father and this is who she calls daddy. I have been served papers for paternity and custody (he wants full). I pulled his record of two DWI in 1988 and 1985 along with a long 25 to 30 pages of unlawful things. I do not wish to subject my daughter to his lifestyle in fear of physological impairment.
I am in serious need of some real good advice. I consider the fact that these charges are old but are only the times that he has been caught by the law and not a record of a true accurate determination of how many times he has broken the law.

Hello gotta:

Your post will be moved shortly.

Yes, you have a story, and yes it matters. But only to a judge, not to us. You've been served papers for some legal proceeding. The only people who know how to do legal proceedings well, are lawyers. You need to hire one.

It doesn't matter how deserving you are or how wrong he is, if you can't get a judge to hear you. If HE has a lawyer, and you don't, HIS lawyer will know how to stop YOU from being heard. If he DOESN'T have a lawyer, then you still need one to make SURE you win.

Court isn't about fair - it's about winning.

It does not matter who wins your only person you should be worryed about is your kid, what is best for her if you think she'll do better with him then be a good mother and let her have the best life she can. but if you really know that she'll be fine with you then fight for her.

if you think that she'll be better off with you then fight for her, it does not matter who win this, the only person you should win is you little girl. she is one at stake right now. if she would be better off with him then be a good mother and let her have the best life she could have, but be there as much as possible don't let him have full control of her.

How long do you wait until it is classified that a parent has abandoned a child?

My Ex-husband has not seen our 6 year old on a regular basis since December 2006.
My concern is that my 6 year old misses him and loves to see him, however he doesn't make an effort. There is a custody aggreement and visitation was set as we BOTH agreed on.

He was dating a woman with two kids and has done for her and her children, but does not see our daughter. He has told me that she is bipolar and has two different personalities.

Two weeks ago she knifed his car tired and cut him. That same night she called my hime 6 times between the hours of 10pm -11 pm. They broke up for four days and he has now moved to her home town which is 2 1/2 hours away.

Do I contact my lawyer and have my visitation modified that he can only see our 6 year old with supervision?

I need to protect my child and I fear that if they come back to town to see my child, I will have send her with them.

I do not know what I should do.
