Need Help

[tonysmom]

What is the name of your state? FL
I have never been on one of these sites before. so I am not really sure how this works. But I really need some help.
I have been with my fiance for over three years and we have an almost 2 year old son. I have been staying home since I got pregnant, which was both of our idea. The one job I did have when we first got together he pretty much made me quit, because he didn't like me working as a waitress. Because he has such a good job and we didn't really need the money I was ok with that, I liked being able to stay home and raise my son. In this time we bought a house, a car and a house full of stuff. But because I didn't work and had no established credit EVERYTHING is in his name.
He has been acting strange lately so I knew something was up, Well the other day we had a fight and he said he didn't want to be with me anymore, I had to get out, give the car back, and that he isn't giving me another penny.
He says because we are not married and everything is in his name there is nothing I can do about it. Do I have any rights to any thing? It was both of our decisions for me to stay home. He said thats why he worked so much so I could stay home and raise our kids (he wanted to have another). Iam not worried about custody, but there is no way I can get a job fast enough and save enough for a place to live if he dosen't help with the everyday expenses of having a 2 year old .Any ideas would be helpful.What is the name of your state?

You have no legal right to anything that your name is not on (house,car -- if your name is not on the deed/title, you have no ownership rights) except those things that are your PERSONAL belongings. He will need to evict you. You will need to file for paternity and child support. You will also NEED to get a job.

As Ohiogal said, you really need to file to establish paternity and CS. Because this can take awhile you should get started right away. You can go to the Dept. of Revenue CS enforcement office to fill out papers, thier local number can be found in your phone book or at [url]www.myfloridacounty.com[/url]. The problem with the DOR is that they take a long time to get things done. You can file yourself by going to [url]www.flcourts.org[/url] to find the forms and other info, it doesn't ake as long, but can be a little confusing to learn all of the court rules, etc. But, that site is pretty self-explainatory about the forms.

You'll also need to get a job ASAP. Florida bases CS on the incomes of both parents, so you will be expected to have a job.
