Hi Ericka, A Child needs a dad but thats just my opinion I don't know your story, you should get legal advice ASAP.
-
You have to prove why he doesn't deserve it. If he wants joint custody, and you don't it will be a long fight that you will probably loose unless there is a good reason, he only deserves visitation.
-
The only thing you can do is have him proven unfit as a father.

I dont know where you live, but a judge will probably make you wait until you have the child before he will grant you a divorce. Because divorce is both more complex and less complete, the wisest approach in most circumstances when the wife is pregnant (unless there’s some reason why divorce MUST move forward) is to wait until the child is born and has a Social Security number. Then everything can be handled in one transaction, custody and child support, etc. You dont have the choice now, to decide who you want to be the child's father, sorry! You already made that choice.

Unfortunatly you will not be allowed to pick and choose weather or not the father of your baby is allowed to be a father, a judge will. And in some states if you ''alienate, or bad talk him'' without proof you could loose custody. Get a lawyer, you will need one.

If he's taking responsibility, why wouldn't you want them man you decided to have a child with to share custody of that child? Unless he poses some sort of danger to the child, he should be in the baby's life. I suggest the two of you get into counseling and find a way to work this out. You may not have to be married to him, but you will have to spend the rest of your child's life with him being around.

Honestly it depends on the state. Your child needs a father, even though he may not be able to be a full time dad, it is far better then nothing. If you feel he is an unfit father, have proof, because without proof you will look bad. In the cases I have seen the judge is fair, the custodial parent (the one with physical custody) is generally allowed to maintain physical custody of the child. The three custody options are, sole custody where you have full say over the child's life physical, religious, educational etc, and you do not need permission to move to a different city. Joint legal custody where the noncustodial parent has say in the child's health care (surgeries medical treatments etc), they have say in religious choices, educational choices as well as if you can move to a different city with out first going to court. And there is Joint physical custody, where the child resides half of the time at mom's and half at dads... the exact details very from situation to situation. I suggest working with the father and seeing if you can come to a mutual agreement that is beneficial for all involved.

unless the father can prove you unfit, you will probably get full custody.

Unless there's a legitimate reason for him not to see the baby, he does have rights as a father. And that is as it should be.
