Even if you did persue him for child support, you probably would never get it. And his family sounds like a bunch of total losers. Do not bring a baby into that environment, that would be so wrong. Just get away, get away get away. Focus on having a healthy pregnancy, get rid of the worthless bf and his family, only put YOUR name on the birth certificate and get on with your life. This will be nothing but pain and misery if you continue to interact with these people. And I doubt that anyone who is telling you your baby will be "retarded" or has been deemed mentally incompetent will persue for custody. If they did, no court would grant it anyway. Bottom line: RUN FAR FAR AWAY FROM THOSE PEOPLE.

If your boyfriend was such a monster, why did you date and have unprotected sex with him? I'm sorry, but considering that it was YOUR decision to father a child with this man, I would grant you both shared custody.



You've dated him for years and knew better than any of us about his drug use, family situation, car accident, brain damage and many other problems. The child should not be punished and kept away from its father because of poor decisions you made.

get away from this "man" and his family, don't ask nothing of them, don't put his name of the birth cert..they are going to make your life miserable, if you decide that isn't the way to go, then get a lawyer, they can give you the best advice.If you cant afford one then look for one that does Pro-bono.

Wow what a mess

I would definitely go get some legal advise as to your full rights and custody. I would also make him sign a agreement to pay child support before the baby is here or you make your final decision to have or not.

I know you think you love this guy but family is a package deal and you and the baby are going to have to deal with them for the next 18 years and 7 months. at a minimum so choose wisely and definitely get some legal advise.

I do however remember hearing that if one of the parents is on full disability then the child can receive a check also as a form of child support check it out

Well, I don't mean to preach to you or anything, but I'd definitely keep the baby. Do you honestly want that on your conscience? That you ended a human life that you formed?



Well, anyway, about what you asked. Yes, you may get full custody of the child by filling legal papers out, etc. as long as he obliges. My mother got complete custody of me at 2 years old, so it is possible. Since you are un-married, you don't have to put his name on the birth certificate, and you will have 100% absolute custody. If he chooses, he may take you to court to get a paternity test and explain why he would be a good father, and they may choose to grant him rights, or they may not.



I wish you all the luck!! <3~
