WILL I HAVE TO SHARE CUSTODY OF MY NEWBORN WHILE I’M BREAST FEEDING?

QUESTION: I'm expecting a baby soon and the father and I are no longer together. Will I have to share custody with the father when I'm breast feeding and my baby is so young?

MY RESPONSE: Possibly, at least to some extent. But before he has any orders that he could enforce, he would have to file a Paternity case, and a Request for Order (formally called an Order to Show Cause before July 1, 2012) seeking custody and/or visitation rights. You would best consult with (and preferably retain) an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you if the dad files a Paternity case.
