Unhappy

Can some one in the legal field please help me? My current situation is I had a child with a longtime boyfriend,However we did not reside together outside of a couple months we continue to date. Then out of the clear blue I get served with papers to have him with sole custody and myself visitation. I guess my question is can he do that or even shared parenting if this goes to court. He also has never paid any support but I have also allowed visitation. I have taken the entire financial responsibility for our 1 Yr old daughter.Ohio is where we reside.

Hire an attorney immediately. Sorry, that's the only advice I have. Do NOT go into court without an attorney.

Yes he can do it, because he is. Does he have a chance ? depends on why and what the reasons in the petition. Generally, however, it is unlikely he will gain physical custody unless there is some proof of neglect, abuse, drugs etc on your part.

As AMomInNC says, you need an attorney to respond and defend the action. Also get them to counter with a petition for Child Support.
