So she can just come take him from my hands but I can't take him right back? I don't get why I should have to let my son go back with her to that life of scum she calls her family.

I plan to talk to a lawyer tomorrow, but I'm not sure what to do while she's gone.

I don't get how I could prove paternity. I'm his father we both know it and I was there at the hospital when he was born and I've put a roof over his head and food in his mouth. How can she be proven he's hers and I can't?

I don't plan to release my child to her until she decides to rationally sit down and work out a custody plan with me. A legal one drawn from a lawyer.

What are some things I have to do to do this?

What does it take to call it child abandonment?

What other laws might I use to help me out.

I love my son dearly and she's being manipulated into taking him from me. I'm just totally blown away by all this and the fact that you're saying I can't do anything if she comes. No offense to you of course. I'm just extremely scared and hurt. This isn't a family dog or gravy boat.. This is MY SON.

I NEED TO ACT FAST AND I NEED A PLAN OF SOME SORT OR I RISK LOSING HIM.
