Should I be worried by his threats to take custody of my baby?

Question - (9 June 2011) 8 Answers - (Newest, 10 June 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

So my fellow dearcupid friends, I have a serious question. I am nearly 3 months pregnant, me and the man have not been together in a while. Soon after finding out I was pregnant I began working and putting money away for my baby when he or she gets here. I have really turned my life around for my unborn baby.

The father walks around with a limp and is about to be on disability, he can barely take care of himseld physically let alone a baby, he is also a convicted sex offender, the victim was 15 and he was 23.

He does not care for my baby but wants to be a pain about custody. with his conditions, and me being proven to be a fit mother, do any of you think I should worry about it? Should I feel threatened?

There's no way they'll let a convicted sex offender have custody of your child.

Convicted sex offender = He doesn't stand a chance.

Though I would always recommend getting the advice of a lawyer, who will also be able to give you other advice about maintenance, contact (of which hopefully there will be none) etc.

Overall though, sounds like he won't get a thing.

Honeypie agony auntWhy did you have a child or even a relationship with this guy? He sounds like a creep.

Anyways, legally, I doubt he has a leg to stand on.

i wasnt sure if the age of them both had any standing in court either, he was 23 & the girl was 15. he has to use a cane to get himself around, how could he carry a baby around. he also lives off of his family now as he doesnt have a job or anything else, hes doing nothing pretty much til they consider giving him disability...in other words hes a bum and it wouldnt be fair for the court to give him custody i think

eyeswideopen agony auntAs a convicted sex offender he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell to get custody away from you. You can get total custody and make him have supervised visitations.

Cerberus_Raphael agony auntNot at all. There is no reason why anyone would give someone like him custody of the child. There is no reason why it should be taken away from you and given to someone like him of all people.

I hope that helps.
