Can he take my baby?!!!!!!

[Maybe1stBaby]

bump. need free legal advice for pregnant ladies. if anyone out there is a lawyer, that would be awesome.

I have no experience or advice to give in this area... That does suck though. Surely he can't take the baby from you if you provide its source of milk (breastfeed)...

I don't know much about your situation and of course things are a bit different in UK to US but no unless he can prove that you are incapable he can't take your baby no matter how much he has. So many men like this think money can buy them anything. My advice get legal advice and don't be bullied by him

Unless he proves to a court you cant take care of your child, then no he cant.

My FOB threatened to take Alfie but I had proof that he was a bad/abusive father and he had nothing against me at all. It all depends on the situation

 

[billy2mm]

no he cant take lo unless you pose a serious risk either mentally or physically.

he is just trying to gain control over you by scaring you.

I am in the U.S., I have been meeting with my lawyer since I was 2 mths pregnant - he cannot take your child, but he could possibly force you into joint custody, 50/50 (judges modernly are really pushing for fathers' rights, at the cost of the mothers' in my opinion). Even if you breastfeed, there are extreme judges who will say you have to pump or switch to formula - especially if you'll be using daycare (baby will already get a bottle). Also, you would have court costs to deal with, which are outrageous. You were thinking about moving, right? If you move now he cannot do this, at most he would have visitation and being so far, would 99% chance have to do the traveling himself. I am lucky that my FOB and I are getting along (for now), but if we weren't I would really regret not moving while I was pregnant.

I'm really hoping he was just trying to scare me. He does have the money, connections, & power behind him...if he was trying to scare me, it worked. now i have to find a pro bono lawyer to figure this whole mess out.

if there is any domestic violence or any kind of abuse within the relationship he will not get joint custody, but he may get weekend visitation. are you married? just because if not you don't have to put him on the birth certificate and then he has no rights
