Would he still get custody?

My BD hasnt been in my sons (7 months) life since he was born. Theres proof of that. He lives in another state. He’s not on the birth certificate either. Hes constantly threatening me “i’m gonna take him away from you”. I have proof of that as well. He doesnt try, he had so many chances to move so he can see my son but he canceled his flight and gave me the dumbest excuse. Even has chances to talk about how to co parent but avoids it so nothing gets fixed. then starts being controlling about the situation out of nowhere when he doesnt pay/care for anything or even asks about his son. So ofc im not gonna listen to him. I’m fed up because he swears up and down he can take care of baby all by himself but gets upset when i dont want to date him and then makes excuses on why he cant move closer for baby. I stopped talking to him and recently filed for child support. Hes freaking out. Hes trying to get me to move to him when ive told him before im not going to because everything is set here. i literally have a baby that i have to move with by myself. My baby has his grandparents here and a lot of toys, he is very well taken care of here and i dont want to give up any of his stuff. I would have to start over if i move. It pisses me off that my BD asked me again like why is he so lazy to move. All he does is take care of himself. My question is could he get any custody for not being active? Or would it just be visitation since baby doesnt know who he is. Or would it be none? Would i have to move when he pays for child support?

I don't think they can make you move, baby lives wherever yall are and you filed first so that county has jurisdiction. I'm going through custody stuff and my baby's dad lives in a different state. My attorney said all visits would be in the state I live in until baby is old enough to travel. That when baby is little his dad's visits would be very short, like 2 or 3 hours, and after a year they would start working up to an over night visit. From what you said I doubt he'll get custody and even if he does it sounds like he'll never actually show up. I'm sorry you're going through that I know it can be really stressful!

They are going to have him do a DNA test and as long as it’s positive legally he is partially responsible for child. Which means he would legally be able to have custody. In some cases they will ask you to stay within a certain county depending on the scenario, sometimes temporarily sometimes permanently..

@Steph thank you for the information ❤️ i pray that everything works out for you. i forgot to mention this. Hes always threaten to file a case against me to get full custody and that i would be the one paying him. When he got the papers, he asked: “you filed a case? What do you expect is going to happen?” Idk why but it sounded threatening. I didnt respond because i decided to stop talking to him for a while now but i have him unblocked because i want to keep track of him. The reason why i stopped speaking to him is he kept turning my words around and using ít against me. Playing games instead of being honest so im pissed. Now he is asking for me to move in with him.

@Shaniqua thank you. i been thru hell and back since the beginning of my pregnancy and finally found peace. I dont want to do the work for him since i do everything for baby. I dont even have time like he does, he spends money at bars while i stay home

My baby daddy literally did the same thing. He's been begging me to take him back and when I say no he threatens to take full custody of the baby. He manipulates every conversation we have so i went no contact with him 4 months ago and filed for sole custody recently. My baby isn't even born yet but I felt like I had to protect myself and my son. You're doing all the right things! Guys like them just hope we'll get scared and back down.

@Steph i’ve talked to others about it and they laughed at him and told me “does he really think its gonna work out just like that for him”

@Steph during my pregnancy he basically ghosted me and would text me once in a while to see if i kept the baby or not. He was hoping i got an abortion or i would lose it. I told him im fine with not being together, all i asked for is co parenting and he even said no to that. He only wanted to go back out because some girl rejected the fuck out of him. Then when the baby was born, he asked to be on the birth certificate but hes obviously not even excited to see the baby.
