My rights as a father

[Jackm20]

Also do try to get not only joint custody BUT do you know of a reason you cannot handle 50 /50 split custody ? I Know of many men who have had it and its pretty decent way to go , one parent must see to it the child has health care insurance and parenting time is equal , my sister and her ex did this for many years, They had a switch day , theirs was Sunday so every Sunday Z would go stay until the next Sunday at parent A s home where he had his own room and then one week until the next Sunday at parent B s home and this way they did not have child support payments they both were equally supporting the child and as it worked out my sister carried the child on her health ins because it was cheaper than what her self employed ex could. < so plan on seeking legal advice about that too.

Yes I have a safe and nice home to provide a good life. I do have full benefits from my job so insurances are no issue for me, mom has Medicaid. I did speak with a lawyer and he said all I can do is file for paternity once I find out baby is born (probably through the grapevine). Also gave me a state website to go to so I can claim PF so she can't put baby up for adoption without my notification. I do want equal time with our child, it's fair. Mom moved back into her parents house recently

There really is nothing more we can do for you. Follow the advice you've been given. Good luck.

Until this goes to court and paternity is established you are not the father. Leave the mother alone and when the pandemic ends and court are again open, file.

I am leaving mom alone, but I'm also showing that I want to be there which is evidence in court that I did not abandon them, I'm here and willing but mom doesn't want me to be. We don't talk but I still ask her if she's doing ok or needs anything. She doesn't get those messages because I'm blocked but it's on record that I'm available and willing to work together
Haven't talked to each other in months

Why are you so focused on "abandonment"? You can't "abandon" your unwed ex-girlfriend and the child isn't even born to be abandoned yet.

So, KNOWING that she's trying to avoid/prevent contact with you, you still attempt to contact her. Some might call that stalking...

I'd call it harassment.

That's not stalking. I ask how she's doing and if she needs anything, that's all. I'll go with a real lawyers advice and continue to show that I care and am available using text that can be brought to court. But yeah keeping a child from their father is ok

There is no freaking baby right now!!! The child that is INSIDE your ex girlfriend has no LEGAL FATHER. Leave her and her bump alone.
