Can I obtain Sole Custody in AZ?
I am wondering if I can obtain sole custody of my child. I only dated her father for a couple of months and got pregnant, we were never married and when he found I was pregnant he didn't wanted my baby. He would hit me on the belly and that is the main reason why I left him. After she was born, I've never received any assistance from him, and I am not thinking of requesting it either. All I want is for him not to have to do anything with her, maybe when she grows and knows better and is her desire she can contact him, but not now. I am concerned that he will try to take her away just to cover appearances with his family. Besides he would be a bad example since he is an alcoholic.
Please help and let me know where can I get help.
