Custody battles. Opinions and advice please.

My son's father seems to think after the baby gets here that he'd be able to get him half the week just because my son and I are gonna share a room together at my parents.. He says it's illegal for my son to share a room with me. Is that true?

Girl I would start documenting everything. What he says to you is hear say.. but if you have witnesses, text messages, keep a timeline of eveything happening!!

He's just trying to stress u out while ur pregnant dont feed into it. My child's father was the same way that's y I cut all communication off with him and if that's what u gotta do so be it it's the best for the baby.

Until he has legal paperwork signed and accepted by the government he has no legal rights. Unless a man is married to the mother of his child, he has no legal rights at birth.

Thank you all! Puts my mind at ease. I wish he would just go away forever. He's put me through hell, he doesn't even deserve a baby. I'm a good person. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs. I don't have a job right now but I have a stable household for my son to live in. I feel like that counts for something. He just likes to convince me that I'm the one that's wrong about everything.

He's just trying to intimidate you don't let him scare you! Next time he says anything about courts or custody simply say I'll see you in court! Don't let him shake you up your not doing anything wrong and you can't get in trouble for sharing a room with your baby there's nothing wrong with it if that's the best he can do he'll be laughed at! Im not 100% certin but I think when babies are just born an little like that they dont get to do over night visits with the father not 100% certin tho. I do know that they won't take your baby because you share a room or live with someone else even if he has a job an you dont he won't get custody of your baby. He will however get some parent rights like visitation with the baby and he'll have to pay child support. My kids go to their dads every other weekend and 3 hours every Wednesday. But I really don't think they do over night visits with dad when their small like that I think they only get a few hours a week an then as the baby gets a lil older he'll get more time an eventually over night visits but again im not %100 on that part.

He just wants to talk to you and get your attention since youre not with him. Tell him to leave you and your son alone and go bother the women that he wants to be with since he is paying all the bills. He wants to get you upset. Hes lame!!

No that's not true. But I would start trying to find an attorney cuz it sounds like he will fight for custody and you'll want to be ready. I'm sorry your having to go through this! Be strong!
