his mother can not take your baby away from you. even if the father doesnt want anything to do with the child you can take him to court to get child mainteance. if his mum had any sense she wouldnt be giving you any stress while you were pregnant. good luck and take care

Whether he has anything to do with the baby has no bearing on whether he pays child support. He is responsible for supporting the baby even if he never sees it. Taking a child away from it's mother is not all that easy. The mother would have to prove that you are unfit to be a mother. Just saying you aren't capable of raising the child is not enough proof. I suspect she is mostly talk, and really doesn't intend to try to take the baby. You need to make sure he is court ordered to pay child support as soon as the baby is born, even if it means doing a paternity test to prove he is the father.

Honey, your rights are 100%. Hers are 0. The father, however, will have rights. I would try to get it in writing that he wants nothing to do with the child. Then still seek child support from him, and offer to work out a deal where he gives up his rights completely, IN COURT, in order to lower or eliminate the support payments. Then you won't have to deal with him trying to get visitation wherein the baby is really with his mom. Also, please report her threats NOW, and every time they come. Document it thoroughly, and make sure to let the courts know whenever you have any sort of hearings.

she can't take the baby away from you as long as you are previding a secure home in wich the child is well taken care of. as in feeding, bathing, clean cloths, and all the power and water are running. as far as visitation the judge may award her some, but most likely not the father not wanting to be involved makes it an unhealthy situation for the child. when it comes to paying if he takes a paternity test and is the father. even if he dosnt want to see the child he has to pay childsupport unless you choose for him not to. if you want any state substitys you will have to ask for child support. FYI if he says he is not the father he has to pay for the paternity test not you.

As the mother of the child you will have sole custody of the child if the father does not want joint custody. If he refuses to be involved he still can be compelled by the courts to pay mandatory child support until the child is 18 years of age. If he wishes he my sign his rights away.

Someone is blowing smoke your way. Are you married or were you just living together? Where does his mother think she has any grounds to take your baby away? Is there more here than you are telling? Please advise.

OK, I will start with him, he can have as many rights as he fights for, he can not say he does not have to pay, the state decides that. Mom has no rights, and if she continues to threaten you, you may be able to obtain a restraining order, or protective order against her, stating that she has threatened to take (kidnap maybe?), the baby. Some states give grandparents rights, but none give them rights that are above the parents rights. He will have to pay! Go apply for government assistance (medical, monthly checks, etc), name him as the father, and they will do the rest. They will force him to do a D.N.A test, and then force him to repay them back for any financial aid you recieved, and they will help you obtain child support, so the government won't have to support you and your baby anymore. Good luck to you!

do u know what she sounds like a rite old bag like my exs mother he also wanted me not our baby but i only found that out after we had split up when our child was 4 month old ignore the whole family believe me it is tough being a single mom an with every day comes new experiances but it is one of the most rewarding jobs even when you get slobbered on and the kids tell you that they love you

Get as far away from them as you can. Do not let them know your whereabouts. Seek help, and know that you have every right over your baby. Everything is going to be ok. Just stay calm, and get away. Surround yourself around people that will support you. He definetly has rights to. Try to get his signed signature saying he wants nothing to do with the baby. Be very careful!! If you get away now, you can get legal help and also get help from woman shelters as well. They will give you good advice. Sometimes I think filing childsupport is best left alone, especially if you feel your in a dangerous situation.

The Mother IS blowing smoke up your butt ! She can't go and just take your baby away !! What a croc . I would do as others have suggested . Keep a journal with times and dates that she has called and threatened you . If you have a cell ph. she calls you on . You can easily show those times and dates from your phone will and connect it with your journal . As long as you can provide a roof and warm bed and food for your baby then no one can take him or her away ! That's it period . I would go and apply for state assistance if you can't afford to pay medical costs . They will direct you on how to apply for c/s . The state should (at least Texas does) pay for a paternity test to prove just indeed that he is the father . I would file ASA the baby is born for c/s . If he doesn't want anything to do with your baby . Then so be it .....his loss , he will regret it later . i'm not sure on your states laws . If the father signs over his rights or not , if you could still get c/s . Check it out . Believe me with his Mom telling yoiu she is going to take away your baby . This could get really ugly !!! Get a good attorney ready and willing to help you . Always be onestep ahead of anyone that is trying to harm you in any way ! If the Mom all the sudden wants to be nice to you . Be on guard . SHe could be trying to full you .

Until he signs over ALL rights that he wants nothing to do with the baby, you can take him for money. You have to also sign saying that you agree him signing over the rights. Because, he can't just do it caz he don't want to pay. Yous both have to agree and sign. If that made any sense. His mother has no rights. She can't do nothing. If he signs the baby over, then she's out too. She's can't do nothing. She can't take the baby away either.

Hey I am actually in the same situation as you and would like anykind of advice you can give. I have been talking to lawyers and the only thing they said is that in California you cannot make a father give up parental rights even if he says that he would it would not hold up, unless you can find someone to adopt the child. Basically, you need to find an adoptive father for the child and have the biological father give up his parental rights to the adoptive father. Please anyone out there can give more information into this. Like you I too have be threatened by the father's mom(grandmother) and sisters. This suxs!

If you want him to pay, then he has to pay. It doesn't matter if he wants to or not. He made a child, now he has to be financially responsible for it. As for his mother, don't even worry about her. She'd have to prove that you're an unfit mother, which is not an easy task even when the mother IS unfit. The courts don't just take a child away from it's mother on a whim.
