Should I file for custody since I'm not married even though me and the baby's father are together ?

no, that could ruin the relationship. since y'all are together it should be 50/50

My issue is in the state of Virginia , if your not married your baby is technically the states until you file . @hermommy

@savannahrae wth? that's weird then I'd say talk to your SO about y'all filing Joint custody best way to go about it

why do you have to file custody for your own child ? so confused

@savannahrae, I never heard that before. make me want to go file for both my sons just to make sure

Anyone can petition to take your child if your not married and neither parent has "legal custody" . My mom went through it with me . @theirmommy1416 @cherryfield

as an unwed mother, the sole legal custody falls with you. paternity would have to be proved in court or a sworn affidavit by both parents that he is the father.

Wait what? I'm in the state of va and I didn't know about that
