What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? The mother of my presumed child is currently living in Alaska and I live in Nevada(Vegas).
Ok I just got off the phone with her. Very heated conversation on both ends. Ok this is what she is trying to do. She doesn't want me on the birth cert. and then she wants me to relinquish all custody of the child so she can then make a living will stating that if she dies the child goes to her father. But as she states now I'll still be able to see the child but I'm no in anyway shape or form connected legally.
Now I've heard Alaska is very pro mother. The things I have going for me is that I have a great job, I work for TI which is a union casino so I have Health care. I have great credit and have never had a blemish on it. Military Vet. I currently live at a friends house but if it looks better for me I can get my own place. I attend school full time which hopefully shows I'm trying to do the right thing and I have me stuff together.
The bad I have no one as of yet to watch the child when I'm at work or school. This is a catch 22 because if i can't work then I can't keep my job. I lose credibility.
The good for her. Lives with her father in a paid off house. Which is about it.
She is around 40K(that I know of) in debt for unpaid federal and state taxes plus unpaid medal bill dating back to when she was a teenager. She doesn't work. Blames it on the pregnancy. She is only 5 months along and I see women doing at least a little something while pregnant. She is on unemployment, wic and denlai kid care. She has no car and no real money.
Now do I have a case? Will I be able to get custody of the kid? If I do go through with this what I'm I looking at as far as lawyer fees. If I deplete all my funds getting my child then its another catch 22.
I really want to have my child with me but I don't want to fight a losing battle waste all whole bunch of money only to be stuck with 40% of wage taken out of my pay check every month. As of right now if I sign everything she wants me to sign she doesn't want any money from me. I will still carry my own withholding into a trust fund for him when he gets older but as far as monthly check to her, nothing.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance,
