    Custody laws in ma? Do mothers have a right to their unborn baby
    I'm 16 and I'm 12 weeks pregnant. The father and I are no longer together. Do I have to give the baby his last name? Just because it is his baby doesn't mean he's goiing to be there and support it, id rather do it on my own. If he were to take me to court to fight for the costody would he have an advantadge due to his age? (hes 17) should I take him to court first? I haven't told my parents but I told an aunt. I just want to be in control of my baby and give it the best life. I don't want it to go back and forth from house to hoouse maybe only on holiday? Please give me advice.

    No one really has a right to an "unborn child" once the child is born, the mother can decide the name of the child,

    The father may have the right to file for joint custody, but unless you are a unfit mother, he can not take the child completely,

    But the father will get visits, if he wants it, at least every other weekend, and often one day during the week also.
    But it is very common to share custody. So don't be unrealistic that he will not get regular visits.

    Also for follow up, I will assume this is the boyfriend and you were 15 about a month ago. https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/pregna...nt-557353.html
