can i get full custody of my 5 month old daughter? and how can i do this?

[kisa05]

the baby has been living with me every since day one, Me and the father have always had some kind of problem about visitations. A week after the baby was born he asked me to let him take the baby on the weekends, but i refused because i consider that the environment he lives in is not safe for a baby. It is a alcohol and drugs environment,he owns an untrained, not vaccinated pitbull, other than the pitbull he also has chickens and horses who rent properly taken care of, do to this the place is very dirty.He does not have a job, nor goes to school, he is still dependent of his mother who has been the one giving me diapers for the baby.they are very unstable , in various occasion he has had the light cut off because it isn't payed,same thing with the water and they've waited until the week after to pay it. They do not have a stable home they are always been kicked out because of not paying or destroying property, I understand that one of the household members is a drug addict and there are usually a lot of dunk meant the house. those are pretty much the reasons why i do not allow him to take our daughter, he has demonstrated that he is not capable of taking care of her because he isn't even able to take care of himself,he is known to be aggressive, inpatient, and very negligent( he has tried to give our baby a hard lollipop candy to our daughter when she was only 3 months, and he has also insisted on taking her horse back riding with her only having 5 months, also living her alone in a room with the pitbull),I do not want to leave my baby with this man alone because i consider that he isn't physically nor mentally capable of taking care of her, and that me having full custody of her will be of her best interest

Read this VERY, VERY carefully.

If you were NOT married to this man when your baby was born, he has no LEGAL rights to YOUR baby.

You don't have to allow him to see YOUR baby, let alone take YOUR baby to his home.

Legally, that is YOUR child.

Legally, that child has a mother, YOU.

Legally, the child has no father!

You might be best served (from the way you describe this DIRTBAG) to keep it that way!

From this day forward, do NOT contact that creep, telephone that creep, email that creep, or allow him to even look at YOUR baby!

If he wants paternal rights he has to go to court to secure them.

I wouldn't tell him that, and I wouldn't accept a penny from him for support.

Every child needs a good father and mother.

Yours appears to have ONLY a good mother.

You don't need this bad example of manhood in your child's life.


Okay, here's the answer to your question.

You already have SOLE LEGAL custody of YOUR precious baby.

You obtained same by carrying her to term for nine, long months.

Because you were unmarried when she was born, she has no LEGAL father.

He might think he's the father, legally that has not been established.

You'd be very, very wise to keep it that way.

Now, you can't stop him from trying to establish his parental rights, but I wouldn't encourage him or interact with him.

You already are the SOLE parent of that little baby.

You have what you seek.

Don't be foolish and lose it to that bum.

Until he goes to court to establish paternity (if that hasn't been done) and file for visitation, you have no legal obligation to allow him to see the child or send her to his place.

You can request supervised visitation but you're going to have to prove that it is necessary.

Have a chat with a local attorney.
