here's our case...my husband got his ex girlfriend pregnant. they tried to work it out, but that did not happen. he met me when she was 2 1/2 mos pregnant and all hell broke loose. she even called me to break us up. we got married in april. the baby was born in june. starting in january she instant messaged us continuously with threats and about how she would deny my husband any rights. she even went as far as accusing him of being a child molester and threatening to put me in the icu. we saved every instant message. the baby was born 3 days ago. she is refusing to put him on the birth certificate claiming that she is unsure, but has told everyone, the hospital staff, parents, family that he is the father. she is even letting him have very limited a motion has been filed by my husband. dcyf has also been contacted regarding concerns of the home that she was taking the child to (she is homeless and her father has taken her in for two weeks and apparently the house is a mess and smells horrible), the fact that she is homeless and jobless and has no plans for the moment on what to do. we have made it known to the court, to dcyf, to her family that we offered to take in the baby and work out visitation so that she could get back on her feet. she has said that the baby is to be with her at all times. we have even offered to buy a breast pump of her choice so that my husband can have longer visitation. she has said no. we have my husband's criminal record already to present because she has said that his criminal record makes him a threat. i am not allowed to even see the baby and she is in the process of making it so when he has the child in our home that i am not to be near the child. i understand that i am only the step parent. i do not want full custody of this child. i do not want to be call mommy. i do want a good situation for this child to grow up in. we have tried to come up with a parenting plan. she has said that she will not meet or agree to anything with me involved. what are our rights? what are the rights of my husband? what is the next step? she has even said that she is not going to apply for state aid because she knows that she could lose because she has no job, no home, no plan. she even ran out of gas bringing the baby home. my husband wants to be a part of this child's life because when the baby is a grown man, he wants to be respected. he wants to be a part of his grandchildren's lives. and he wants to be known that he made a mistake but takes care of his responsibilities....
