    Default Past Drug Abuse for Both Parents. Who Gets the Child

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: sc
    My fiance and I have a 3 month old baby and throughout my pregnancy and even up til now he has been emotionally abusive. He came to one doctor appt, stayed for her birth and left right after, and has not bought the first thing she needs. I get up with her every night, I take care of her 99% of the time and make sure she has everything she needs. I am contemplating leaving him and have even tried multiple times. However, because we smoke pot at a party a couple of weeks ago he is threatening that if I leave and take her he will have us both tested. His mentality is "if I can't have her neither can you." I love my daughter with all my heart and would do anything to keep her. I take her to all doc appts, feed her, bathe her. He has only changed 2 diapers since she's been here! I guess what I'm asking is if I leave can he have her taken from both of us? I don't want to lose her but I'm afraid to stay here any longer. And that's the only way he's going to let me have her. I'm desperate! I love her and can provide her with a much loving and caring environment than he can.

    Frankly pot isn't a huge deal. Given that your both guilty of smoking a few weeks ago, by the time this got to court you'd likely both be able to test clean anyway.

    Get yourself to a safe place. Take your baby. And then if your fiance wants access to the child, he can go to court and request visitation and perhaps some form of joint custody.
