I am sure you all have probably heard this question before, but I am new to all of this. I live in Texas and gave birth to my wonderful son on February 7, 2002. At that time my x and I were broken up. He dump me 5 months into my pregnancy without even a good bye. He just disappeared. About 2 weeks before I was due to give birth, he called me up and states that he was a part of my son's life. I told him that I would give him the chance, but that I was really skeptical of his intentions. He signed an Affadavit of Paternity at the hospital. After that he didn't see his son for another month. My son will be 3 months old in 1 week and his father has seen him 3 times including the time at the hospital. He has given me only a couple of dollars to help with my son and has promised time and time again to get him insurance. I have yet to see the papers. He won't call to check on his son for a month at a time. The last time he saw his son, his new girlfriend, tried to attack me while I was holding my son in my arms. My son's father has a history of serious drug use, drinking problems, sleeping with minors, DWI's, plus his girlfriend is a physco. Long story sort, he has nothing to offer my son and I don't want him to be around my little boy. He is going to be a horrible influence. My question is, is there any way of protecting myself and my son, from his father seeing him? Please don't think that I am a horrible mother that wants to get back at the x through the child. I just don't think that he is going to be good for my son. He's not dependable and has serious problems that I didn't realize until it was too late. Can someone tell me what I need to do to protect my son. I don't want child support, just for him to leave us alone.
