I am an expected Father; my ex girlfriend and I broke up on bad terms. I spent Wednesday and Thursday in the Hospital with the mother of my child. She is 20 weeks pregnant with our daughter, Rebecca (Yes she already has a name) because "mom" (I will not use names for legal purposes and out of respect for the mother) was too dialated for the early pregnacy... to save time and tears I will just jump to Thursday.
I found out that the Doctors and Nurses had no idea I was the father; they thought her current boyfriend was and so they gave HIM the copies of the ultrasound to him and not me *sigh* anyway "mom" dialated to 4; and as you all know at 20 weeks old the baby does not yet have lungs, so the specialist authorized "mom" to go through the Surgery to put the Embryotic Sac back in the proper spot and sew mom shut which went well....
I need to know how to get Sole-Custody... mom is trying her best to shut me out of Rebecca's life, she had told earlier in the pregnacy to myself and many others that she does not want me in the child's life or on the birth certificate, according to rumor she had also told her best friend that she didn't even want our kid, etc. etc.
I cannot prove any evidence myself as of yet but HER friends are trying to gather evidence that she neglected to take her vitamins, was living in a tent for about a month, still smokes (okay... that one is easy enough to prove), she doesn't make "healthy decisions" for herself or the baby to this point in time already.... and they say mom is Neglecting the baby already...
Is there any advice into getting Sole-Custody for our Daughter when she is born in January (if not in 4 weeks if the doctors see it necessary)? I feel as though mom will not keep our daughter safe and healthy as she should.
I will say right now mom has a couple things that I don't have... 1. a job (because her mom got her the job when she was like 14 years old if not younger - is that even legal?) and 2. she has her High School Diploma and is currently attending a Community College.... I am a HS Dropout due to working 40+ hours night shift and going straight to full time HS and couldn't do both and I had bills to pay...
I am scared and NEED to act now while Rebecca is still in the Womb. I have been looking for a job since the last company I worked for gave me 4 checks that bounced and I am still waiting to hear back from Department of Hourly Wage.... it's been.... *too long*. I have a Clean Record; worked in Airports and I have already been cleared to live in a home with Foster Children from when my mother and her husband did Foster Care and I lived with them. My current living situation is a 2 bedroom apartment with a friend's grandmother and I am looking for a job... I NEED ADVICE!
