    So go to Court, present your evidence, get sole custody with no visitation by the father.

    Otherwise you can always notify the Police but I see no threats.

    Those are your only choices.

    At the top of this forum is a sticky about parental that may help you understand the situation. But the botom line is he can't sign over his rights. Only a court can terminate rights and courts are very reluctant to do so. I see no grounds for your getting his rights terminated.

    The issue of the insurance just may be that he has a job that pays fully for coverage so he may just have listed his daughter (its his as well as yours).

    As for his taking her from you, that's also unlikely. Unless he can prove that you are unfit as a mother, he has just about no chance to do so.

    I don't know what you went through with your previouse attorney. But $2K is not much to process a divorce with a child. I suspect you may not have followed through to get anything done.

    But, if you want to protect yourself, then you need to go to court get full legal and physical custody with no visitation. Unless he fights you, you stand a good chance of getting it.

    Finally, I will note that if you want help from us, then you need to answer our questions, read our answers and not keep repeating yourself.

    It costs often 2000 if there is no fight, 5000 plus is much more common for an attorney just to start a divorce when the couples are not agreeing.

    Just to show up at a couple hearings and file the original documents would be over 2000 most of the time.

    Can't answer more until the issues asked are answered

    There was NEVER a divorce. This was just for legal advice. The $2000 I spent was just to hear an attorney tell me what I should do.

    From what you've said, I don't see any reason to think he wants to take your daughter away or that he could even if he wanted to.

    What makes you so anxious about this guy?

    OK, so did you do what the lawyer advised? If there was no divorce, then you are still legally married to the father? Who has been claiming the child as a dependent on tax returns?

    Were you EVER married to the father?

    The longer this thread goes on, the less sense it makes.

    Can't rep you JKT but I was thinking the same thing. Plus it's not helping that we're not getting straight answers to any of our questions.

    OP, come back and give us the FULL story if you want help but working with random bits and pieces makes it really difficult for anyone to advise you.
