QUESTION: I am pregnant by a man I briefly dated. He wants 50/50 custody with our newborn child. He thinks he should have a full week on every other week. He only lives 10 minutes away, and I will not agree to this while the child is so young when he could easily come see the child daily for several hours. What is the likelihood the court will side with him? And what can I do in the meantime?
MY RESPONSE:
Either you or he will file a Paternity case and seek custody and visitation orders. Courts generally start a father's time with his child with small amounts, increasing over time, but that is not a rule that the Courts are required to comply with.
You would best retain an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you.
