my 18 year old daughter who was living with the father of her baby wants to make sure of her rights of temporary custody of their baby. they had been fighting and decided to be apart for a couple days but it was thanksgiving morning and she didn't have any clothes for her and the baby for the day, and he wouldn't answer the phone so she drove to their house to get some. He wouldn't answer the door either but there was a car in the parking lot that looked very familiar with the one that belonged to a girl he had supposedly been talking to lately...
the father decided to pick another girl to have in their home and let my daughter walk in and see. (she is still there) this happened thanksgiving morning. she called the police to try to get him to open the door (he had a child proof cover over the door handle of the outside door) so she could get clothes for her and the baby for thanksgiving. the police finally got him to open the door and they were sitting on the couch waiting for her to come in...she called me and was so upset and I ran there so she wouldn't get arrested for hitting someone or something. anyway, of course we got their clothes and some other belongings that we could fit into our two cars. she is so hurt of course but now he is now trying to turn the tables and saying stuff like he will try to get custody of the baby from her and how he has his own place for her and she lives with her parents, etc. and has nothing to offer the baby.
I have read a couple postings that say that unwed mothers automatically have custody of a baby (in most states). is this true or do we need to go file something in court monday morning? also, she has decided (at least today anyway ) that she wants to file child support on him. what is the procedure in our state for unmarried people to do that? do we need a lawyer first before applying in court?
Any help would be very much appreciated. My email address is listed here if you want to contact me privately. Thank you. Robin Noe
