My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Maryland
i need help in protecting my daughter from her father
he denied her from the time i was pregnant untill i had a paternity test done. I knew she was his but he never believed me. Now that he is going to be paying a high amount of child support he wants things his way or no way.
when we dated he emotionally abused me and i feel he will do the same to her i have learned this is not enough to keep her from him which would be my goal if i could. He is her father and has a right to be around her, that's just life, get used to it. Just because you feel he emotionally abused you, does not mean that he will do the same to her. It's not up to you to make that assumption. And if he did emotionally abuse you, the fact remains that you still chose to have a child by him and he has the right to be in that child's life and have imput on the child's upbringing.
he wants control over everything and if i do not agree with him and his demands then i am unreasonable and not willing to compromise which is not the case. He does't get total control, but he does get to have imput if he has joint legal custody which you haven't mentioned he has. Are there any custody orders in place?
he wants her half the time That's up to the court to decide, however he should be able to spend time with her. and wants to be able to control legal decisions i do not have barely anything that i can use against him and i fear if this goes to a judge he will get what he wants and i know for a fact it will be damaging to my daughter How do you know that? Are you psychic? You don't know for she how he will be toward his child.he will undermine me even if it is written not to, he will do what he wants with her no matter what i say or put in writting and he will get away with it he always has because he is a firefighter. he has made threats that state if this is the way you want it then i will take it to court. You should go to court anyway.he tells me i am playing games when i dont want to crompromise on things i feel strongly about. i need help and i need it bad my nerves have gotten the best of me and i dont want to see my daughter harmed or taken from me.
i look forward to your advice.
