Father's Issues / RE: unwed dad to be
May 17, 2007, 04:35:27 PM
She does not go to school, and I believe she has 6 weeks off work, and then has to return. I dont know the status on breastfeeding, but am inclined to think not. She likes to party, we both do-we met in a bar. But I think that she has not been drinking since she found out she is pregnant. I also have refrained. This has helped me with my grades and refocus on my future. I can tell you that both of us have very supportive families that are willing to help out where ever they can. I agree with the comment about staying clean and calm, she is already starting to suggest that I am an unfit dad, so I know that she will grab on to anything she can get. I have  no record of anything, and am working hard to get my degree so I can provide for this child. My family are  upstanding members in the community, and they are willing to go to bat for me in the hopes that I can have a part of this childs future. I find it amazing that the father has to fight for any rights with his child. Both of us had an equal part in creating this child.
I appreciate all of your comments and help.

Father's Issues / unwed dad to be
May 16, 2007, 04:38:20 PM
I am an unwed dad to be, and a college student. The mother of my baby and former girlfriend basically wants me out of her life and the baby to be's life. (She has a new boyfriend) I have tried to be supportive, and I have told her that I intend to financially support this child and that I want to be part of this childs future,(as much as I can, or she will let me). She is already slamming me, and I know that she will fight me with any visitation issues. I am trying to keep our relationship on an even keel, she is the mother of our child and I would like to be able to maintain a working relationship with her in the best interest of our child, but she is very irrational. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I need to do to establish paternity, and try to obtain visitation rights, and when I need to take some kind of legal action. Unlike some other fathers in my position, I am not trying to run from my responsibilities. I fathered this child, and want him/her to be a part of my future.
Thanks for any help.
