    Default Custody Issues for a Newborn Baby Girl

    I found out I was pregnant while my boyfriend and i were on a break and he was with another girl...I decided to keep the baby after he broke up with his girl and we made a plan that i would take a job down in maryland (we were at college in ct and i graduated in may) and after he graduated this december he would move down here with me and then this coming may we would move back up to CT since my job said they woudl transfer me there after a year. Anyways the pregnancy went really rough bc i was down here doing everything on my own when he was up in CT having fun and doing coummunity theater shows when he could have been spending that time making money or visiting me down here. I became quite a b*tch and his mom grew to hate me and call me a pyscho that needed help...but honestly i was just really upset that he did not seem to be preparing for this baby at all and it made me question what would happen once the baby got here. Now, he is sayin he gives up bc i have been so difficult and that he is not moving down here...I knew there was something more behind his decision and checked his voicemails and emails and found out that there was another girl...they are seeing each other now and so i contacted her to let her know about me and the baby...Anyways he said that him and his mother are going to prove to the court that I am crazy and that he should have 50/50 custody of the baby...I am a strong believer in breast feeding and I will not be able to do that if he has 50/50 custody...I also do not want my daughter being trecked back and forth from CT to MD at such a young age and I def do not want him and his girlfriend playing house with my daughter.

    His mom hates me and says she is goin to do anything to make me miserable and lose my baby...I admit i should not have gone thru his things but i now the the truth abotu him and have no regrets...

    He has a temper and is on probation right now for assault against his ex girlfriend before me (i did not know this until recently). He lives with his mom in a dirty dump of an apartment and can barely make his car-payments but he has a rich mentor that gives him as much money as he wants whenever he wants it...

    I guess my question is what kind of a chance does he have of gettin 50-50 custody with all the info I have given you...and also i plan on giving birth in my home state NY so I will not be alone since he is no longer coming down here and i do not want to go into labor with nobody around...will this change anything legally since i am technically a resident of Maryland and my insurance and taxes and everything is in MD...

    sorry this is so long i jsut wanted to give all the details

    He doesn't have to prove you are crazy to get 50/50 custody. He just needs to prove he is the dad.
    Tell the mom to MYOB. She has grandparents rights, and unless she backs the hell off, she will have to goto court if she ever wants to see your baby.
    Babys dad may not get 50/50 right away. But he will get some kind of visitation, probably on a sliding scale.
    You chose to have a baby with this man. I suggest you 2 get on the same page sooner, than later.

    You said that you've graduated from college, but I can't tell by the way you write.

    In any case, breastfeeding doesn't trump his rights as a dad. You can pump while dad has the baby. He is likely to get joint custody after proving paternity.

    Any more questions?

    "He is likely to get joint custody after proving paternity." - if you mean joint physical custody and equal time, I very much doubt it.

    Joint legal, sorry. Thanks for catching that.
