Another question for you. After the baby is born, will you be seeking social assistance?
If so, they will pursue the dad in paying child support by using the family maintenance organization. Social assistance is very, very active in ensuring that the dad pays child support as then they can deduct that amount from your social assistance cheques.
My feelings are that if you do not want the father to be in the child's life, then you shouldn't make him pay for a child he is not allowed to see. I've known too many men who are forced to pay for children and when they try and get the courts to give visitation the mother blocks it.
However, if he's just not wanting to take the responsibility of the child then by all means make him pay up. Here, they take it straight out of the paycheck - generally a certain % - and then send a check straight to you. And here you do have some influence over how much you receive. You can request to have the amount lowered or raised and the courts will consider the request.
It's not that I don't want him to see his baby. Moreso I want it to be monitored, he has a very very bad temper and anger problems, VERY bad, he's also a very violent person and I don't trust him with the baby. When he's in rage he can get uncontrollable. Also he TOLD me that his father made a sex video with a younger girl - he told his friend it was a girl named Samatha Weins (she's SIXTEEN), his father is into his 50's and I don't trust his pervert self around my baby without monitoring! So I was trying to figure out if I could get support and still be able to ask that he be monitored while with the baby - and his parents monitored too!
