Child custody

You don`t have to give him joint custody but he can take it to court. If this person has never harmed you in any way and you two can see eye to eye as responsiable adults why would it hurt you to share custody? The child should be your main concern and keeping him or her from the father may hurt you in the long run. I am a grandmother of a child whose father doesn`t have legal custody of his son and his father does want to be a good father but the mother makes alot of impossibles for the father. If a man wants to do the right thing LET him.

As of right now no, but isnt right. He can take you to court and get joint custody. A judge wants both parents to be involved in a childs life. Its healthy for the child. If you 2 can't work anything out amungst yourself take it ot court then. Should try to work somethign out before things get any worst.

Bull u were never married, depends on what state u live in...if u want full custody, get it and allow him visitation and make him pay support!

As soon as the baby is born you will want to file for child support and then file for sole custody at that time the court will stipulate visitations. If you let him sign his name on the birth certificate then he will have more legal rights. If you don't then he would have to prove parenty before he can do anything and that would by you some time. If you do not trust him now then your not going to later. It is in your hands right now not his. You can still get support even without his name being on the birth certificate because the burded of proof is upon him to prove the parenty. He will soon find out that he does not always get what he wants.
