QUESTION: I have a seven month old son with a woman I could vent about for a week. After she announced her pregnancy, I immediately moved into her house (from my apt to her couch). After the birth, we agreed to live together for the first year (with the understanding that we have had no intention of being "a couple") for support of the child. I changed my job and housing so that I can do my part to take care of him (I have him about 75% of the time). I truly believe his mother is an awful person, and she is now threatening to take him away. We have taken no steps legally, as of yet. What do I need to do to protect what ever rights this sexist system offers?
MY RESPONSE:
An attitude adjustment would help - don't vote against success or you will guarantee failure.
You would best retain an experienced Family Law Attorney to counsel and represent you in a Paternity case under the Uniform Parentage Act.
If you come across to the Judge in that case as a responsible, caring, appropriate parent, you might end up with an award of sole or primary custody of your child.
