But wow, what a nightmare...I can't imagine anything worse. I feel serious disgust for someone who would use their child in such a way. No way he's going to get custody, unless the judge is a whacko.

Does he want full custody though? Surely not? If so, I'm amazed how someone could be so selfish to try and take the child away from the only parent he's ever known. It's a baseless threat though.

It's a baseless threat though.

Thank you Alaina and for ALL of you. I feel the full army of loyal single parents behind me. That foolish man with his ridiculous threats doesn't realize what he is dealing with. In all of this muck i feel so much love and grace-- once again it is proven to me that there is no better club to belong to than the single parent club. This is exactly the kind of support Clare and I envisioned just over a year ago when we created iHeartSingleParents.com. Thank you for showing me that single parent friendship, support, empathy and guidance is alive and well. oh how I LOVE you all! I am overwhelmed by the support. Thank you Alaina and for ALL of you.

The problem is, most court systems see that the best place is with the mom...and that's when daddy has been IN the childs life. No way, no how, are they going to give custody to a dad that's been MIA. Maybe visitation. But not custody. And if anything, this will encourage and push him to have to pay child support. Try to find the silver lining (or tell her to if she doesnt read your blog)...this could actually be a good thing. Keep us posted-what a nightmare!

And point out that he'll have to pay until the kid is 18. And like someone else mentioned, lawyers arn't cheap. You know how to make him go away?

I was nearly in a similar situation but luckily--I suppose--fate intervened, life got in the way. But the prospective father still threatened to take legal action, thinking I had taken some action on HIS child without his consent. This made me laugh til it scared me to tears. Guys as insecure as this have no business being parents. Hope Morgan's able to call his bluff. Have to agree–any man who really wanted to be a father would've been there before this.
