any advice on co-parenting with someone when yall cant get along. he doesn’t have any rights but im trying not to be the girl that keeps a guy from their son. but there’s just so much conflict and disrespect even when i was pregnant. sometimes i want to just give up and block him
@lavender13, that's just crazy to me! But yes you're doing right thing for your baby and that's you being a great mom. Definitely try to set something up in writing to protect you both! I would just try to keep everything about the baby only when you talk, if you don't already. It will take time but it will get easier. Hang in there momma
@masseymomma16, texas just favors mothers. and with everything hes done it would be understandable if i just kept him out of our life. but im trying to be fair
@lavender13, Oh, that's pretty ridiculous! You would think DNA would rule over marriage or a piece of paper. 🤔
@masseymomma16, in texas the dad doesn’t have any rights without marriage. hes not on the birth certificate or anything
@lavender13 visitation orders can be set up any time regardless of status. Glad i could help 😁
@shayybear, oh wow ok. thought u could only do that stuff if u were married. this helps a lot!
@lavender13 you could plan it out together then have it legally binding via a contract. Make it public drop offs so no arguing ensues. Who can do what. Vacation rules, Etcetera. Then have it become void once he's 16, and allow him to decide.
@shayybear, it’s more of us avoiding each other cause we don’t get along. but i see what you’re saying
When he would see her, we settled it together. He stopped seeing her about 3 years ago though.
I'd suggest court mandated if him being apart of his life is very important to you. That way he has his set days and it's not wherever he feels like it.
@masseymomma16, thank you. im trying my best (:
