My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Alaska
Hello, I am currently pregnant with my second child and am due any day now. The biological father of my unborn is threatening me with his parents and lawyers because I told him that he is not aloud around me or the kids unless he takes a drug test. He promised to be clean and sober by the time baby was born and unfortunately has missed my whole pregnancy because he chooses heroin instead. I just got done with custody of my other child (50/50 with another guy) and I agreed to not have my daughter around anyone that was under the influence. I explained that to unborn baby's dad and I have not allowed him around unless he is sober. He said he would take a hair folicule by the time she was born, so he could be around us. He cant pass one so he was shooting for a urine drug test. Now that he cant pass either, he says I'm keeping him away. He said he doesn't have to take a test, all he needs is his parents and a good lawyer to get immediate custody. He comes from a very good family, mom is a teacher, dad has child daycare license and fisherman, they have custody of all his sisters kids etc. The unborn baby's dad however, has no health insurance, no car insurance, cant pass a drug test, lives in a bachelor house with drugs in and out, house is smoke filled, etc. Don't get me wrong, I think he has great potential to be a great dad and I want him apart of babies life. He really is a good person, I just cant have him around under the influence. What should I do? should I file for custody? is it better to let him file for custody? I have plenty of proof of his addictions including pictures, videos, voice recordings, and text messages. I don't want to have to do that to him. I just want him sober. I cant let my daughter be alone with him until I know he has better living conditions and is clean. what do I do? Also, I really wanted him at the birth. if he is not sober, should I keep him away even if he has to sign the birth certificate? or should I just give in, and let him be their even if he's high on drugs? I want to do whatever is best for baby....
