Q: He Wants His Kid !
asked by: nvrgv^ on June 26th, 2007

Most of you do not know me, I am fairly new. My name is Maleyah. I'm fourteen years old and my daughter McKayla is almost one. My ex bailed on me when he found out I was pregnant, and just recently he and his mom showed up at my house to see McKayla. He says that if he doesn't get to see her, he'll sue for custody.

I cannot lose my daughter, she's my world and what i lvie for. I don't have anything else. I do not want him with ehr because he's been known to be neglectful, and is struggling with drugs and peer pressure from the people he calls friends.

As a single mother, I really have no one who will evenw ant to stick up for me, let alone give me some advice. please help!

You need an adult on your side immediately..............although I agree that a father/mother should be able to see their child on a regular basis............you don't know which way this is going to turn out. If your attending school, go see the counsellor tell him/her the situation and ask for a social worker or advocate. Someone who can tell you the legalities and what your entitled to. In the meantime, if this should reach the court system..........you'll need to keep accurate records.............how many times he comes to see the child? any history of violence/drug use/harrassment? deadbeat dad? etc.................the point is, this is too heavy for you to handle alone................get help, there are many free services out there but you have to ask for them Smile

i agree you need to talk to your counseling at school about your situation. ask about legle aid so they can tell you your rights. once you know the law, no one can threaten you.

don't be scared! worse case sarnario is he will get partial custody, and certain days he can visit his child. he cannot take your child away from you especially if there is drugs in question.
do you think he will get a lot of help from his mother.
