I know he has a right to know his baby. I'm not panicking at all. She never had an issue with him being her dad. He wanted the paternity test. She never contested the fact that the baby is his.
We gave the visitation agreement to the attorney already so I feel better about that. It was a consensual agreement.
I doubt they'd do joint physical just yet.
It's appropriate for him to have joint legal custody. He's the baby's father, and he is involved with her. It's not appropriate for that baby to go to his house without the mother yet. If your daughter is having success with the breastfeeding, she could scale back on the use of the bottle. That would preclude any separation from mom as of now.
I'm sure he's going for joint legal custody where he has an equal say in how the baby is raised, medical decisions, education, etc. He'll most definitely get that since there is no reason for a judge to not grant him that right. He'd be crazy to not go for joint legal custody.
AGreed. He'll get joint legal custody, which he should have.
Unsure if he's asking for naming rights as well. I know that was a sore spot for mom when i asked for a hypehnated name.
They have been bad mouthing me some more!! I got word from a friend of mine last night that she saw the dad and all he did was complain about me. Then proceed to play the victim.
This is just upsetting. They told her they're fine with my husband though.
I guess that's because I just cannot be fake. I cannot let you be complete idiots to my children and then be nice to you. I'm very understanding and if they've done something wrong, I'm the first to get on them for it.
My oldest daughter's crime was choosing to get out of the relationship with their son. My younger daughter? No clue what her's is.
So you're ignorant and rude to my kids and think I should just be ok with it.
Consider this a blessing in disguise. No family get togethers during the holidays!
Looks like it's time for her to move out on her own. Nananana-nananana. Heyheyhey, goodbye!
This would not be a good idea.
At least this way, she's not on welfare or anything like that and gets a chance to finish school so she never has to be.
Kicking her and the baby out would be a terrible idea. I'd never do it.
