What to do about my Daughter's Father

Im an 18 year old mother. My daughter is turning one in acouple of weeks and her father is 24 and is a disaster in the making. I knew him for only acouple of months when i got pregant. He wasnt there most of my pregnancy and after she was born he was barely around. I gave him a second chance because i wanted my daughter to have a family. He became physically abusive and would push me around and hold me down in front of our daughter.. one time he even pushed me while i was holding her. He doesnt help me support her in any way and puts his "street" life if you know what i mean ahead of her needs. I know the best thing for me to do is take her and leave . Do i need to get full custody of her before i can leave the province even thought she lives solely with me and just visits with him or what should i do? And how good do you think my chances are of gettin complete custody of her?

You didn't say if you were married, or if his name was on the birth certificate. But if you haven't been married to him and his names not on the birth certificate. Move on take care of you and the child get your priorities together, at this point he doesn't have alot of rights.

If you were never married, he has little rights now, as she has lived with you all her life. Move out now, before something happens. Even if you have to move in with family for a little while until you get a new place of your own. Chances are that if you leave and go to a new province, he will not even try to contact your daughter or you, right now he only does it when it's convienent for him, so I'm sure he won't go out of his way if you move. Do you rent the place where you are now? or does he or both of you? If you rent it, kick him out, get an order of protection if you have to, and have the landlord change the locks for you ASAP. Then move when you find a new place. Good luck to you!

I kicked him out a while ago. But he constantly comes around. At the moment i do live with Family , while i wait for my new place to be done. He's a very persistant person and doesnt like being crossed so im sure if i move that would annoy him even more, knowing that im out of his grasps and he would probably try to get custody of our daughter. . But if i leave the province do i need sole custody of her. or am i okay to leave seeing as how she's lived with me all her life and just has visitation with him?

If you don't have any paperwork stating that you can't move a certain amount of miles away, then you are good to go. Only if you have something stating you can't move from so many miles from him with the child would you need to go to court and have it modified, but since there is no paperwork stating that, I say go for the move to better yourself and your child, then if he fights it, you will have to deal with custody/visitation/support, but until then live a happy life and don't worry about it. Good luck to you!
