...will have? PLEASE ANYONE WITH A RELATED SITUATION ANY IMPUT WILL RELIEVE THE STRESS!!! So I will be giving birth to my 1st child in a few weeks. The father has not been in the picture and he recently received child support papers in the mail notifying him that I will be filing child support against him. He made a phone call to me about a month ago and said he had doubts he is the father and will request a paternity test to be taken. This was about one month ago and I have not heard anything since. Well...today, he called me and began making threats that he is going to get an attorney to try and get custody?! This is his background: He has a criminal history involving public intoxication charges, assault on a peace office twice, and domestic violence in his previous relationship. He recently got off probation in December. He was living 6 hours away from me and recently moved to my town for no reason. He does not have a support system in place. And he is currently living in a motel. Will this be enough to ask for supervised visitation? I know the standard is every other weekend, but this is a serious risk issue for my child! Im really scared and thinking of just dropping the child support order if he is going to try and take her. Is anybody out there who has a NCP getting supervised visits and if so what was the reason for them? I want to make sure he wont be able to take her! Please help :(
 
I would think a history of domestic violence is more than enough to get some protection for you and your child. I doubt he has any intention of taking custody (or chance of success with his record) but is trying to get you to back off the child support issue. If I were you I would do just that to. He will never pay child support any way and to get it, he will always know where you and the child can be located. You need to talk to the court and do it now. The circumstances you describe even if someone else has been there it could have been in a different state and under different laws. Please talk to a reliable, knowledgeable source instead of anyone who might answer on Yahoo.
