My bd gets paid every week and he and I aren't together, but I feel like if he gave $50.00 a week I wouldnt have to (put the white man in our business) as he puts it. But he doesn't help out as much as he could. Yes he works and I don't but that doesn't mean I don't work . I'm taking on the roll as a Mother and selling baby cloths to buy our daughter more and myself but mainly her. I told him I'd keep the receipts and send them to him just to show I wouldn't be using the money for myself and he says no . minding you I'm Islamic and he was raised as a JW so our daughter is really the (Forbidden Fruit) I have filled out the child support but then by me not having a job he might use that against me. I don't want to lose my daughter to bs but ik him. Am I wrong for wanting him to do more ? He only gets her once every other month or week ( on his own terms) when my car was running I'd bring her to them I'd take him to work but I guess because I put my foot down and we aren't having sex anymore he's upset . idk I feel like I'm not doing as much as I can but I'm doing all that I can right now.
@chelli thank you I'm trying to look up all the rights that I have, I mean he didn't sign the birth certificate either so I'm just trying to make sure I'm good on my part. I'm only 20 but Crescent is just one and this whole year has been a hassle trying to get her dad to help ik we are young but we did what we did and she's here.
No worries I've been through it. It's stressful I know, but unless he's a millionaire and you're homeless and on drugs. They won't see any valid reason to take a child from its mother.
And all of that matters. Keep doing your job as a great mom and there's no way he'd be able to convince a judge to take your child.
@campey that's really reassuring . man oh man I've been feeling bad but I mean I do all I can I read to her study with her (numbers alphabets etc.) And im the one who sees her grow . I send pictures and all but someone said I can't push my daughter on him. He rather hang out than spend time with her I just want him to spend time with her. He feeds her meat when I ask him not too he laughs BC I have a ten meat but its my choice I knie the difference all she knows is hey I'm getting fed its hard to feed her when all we eat is soy bean (morning Star produce) and she tosses it I'm trying to be a strong mom but its hard all I wanna do it break down
They can't take your child from you because he works and you don't. He'd have to prove he's a better custodial parent. My oldest sons father tried that when I was in school because I wasn't working. He had minimal contact with my son and that was his choice. Even without a job and having my mom financially support my son and myself he wasn't able to take my son.
If not on the birth certificate he has no rights at all. He would first have to prove the baby his and in order for you to get child support you have to also.
