help... me and baby daddy have been together for 4 years our daughter is 5 months old and I'm 7 weeks pregnant. he treats me like crap. When I work over night 10pm 6am he makes me do everything before I go to work and calls me to come home if she wakes up I need the middle of the night. He has changed a total of 4 diapers since she has been here. he is very emotionally abusive and verbally abusive. I wanna leave but he said I'll go to jail if I take my daughter.. idk what to do
Nothin will happen,my so ex got a restraining order and left him...... And she gets the child more!!!! Unless you have a drug problem or move into a unsafe place court will favor you
Even with his name on the birth certificate you will not get arrested that's just him trying to scare you
You can't go to jail for taking your daughter if you have joint custody there is nothing the police can do , I went through something similar with my ex husband
if ur not married YOU have custody of ur child and you can't be arrested. if you need out and are scared there are shelters for women that will help you get on ur own feet. sweetie don't let him hold u down, be strong for u and those babies.
Talk to a lawyer, if you're afraid he'll hurt you get out before it gets physical. You don't want your babies around that type of abuse. Do you have anyone to talk to?
so since we don't have any court documents or custody papers I can't get in trouble. I want what's best for my family but am nervous
