run over the bastard on the way to florida..

Connor,

He can't abandon a child that is not his, and such terminology is
generally used only for termination of parental rights issues e.g.
adoption proceedings.

Now thats an idea!

Not sure what you mean lady

You asked if you could get him for abandonment which you cannot because
he has no child to abandon, at this point.

seriously when you get to florida file for child support.Florida is a
son of a ***** on that.My daughters ex has a son in Florida and that
state contacted NH and NH made her ex take a paternity test.Now Florida
garnishes his wages.

That would be a good idea if he had a job. i guess it still adds up even
if he doesnt.

yeah it worked great till he started working under the table..dont ya
just love a bum??

Right now hes living with his new girlfriend (and her parents). They'll
get tired of it soon, then he'll have to find someone else. What a way
to live.

"A putative father may bring an action in Circuit Court for a
declaration that an illegitimate child is his child. It is not
necessary to obtain a judicial declaration of filiation for purposes of
legitimating a child. Legitimacy based on acknowledgment and
recognition (see Inheritance Rights below for more information) is
achieved by acts, declarations and admissions by the father outside of a
judicial proceeding.

However, if the father wants to protect his rights as a father, and have
his child’s legitimacy determined by a court of law, he may bring a
declaratory action. He would then use his written acknowledgment or his
“open and notorious” recognition of the child as evidence of his
paternity."

he already signed an Affidavit of Parentage. It is a legal document

omg connor my daughters ex lives with his parents and his new
wife.

I cant believe i stayed with him as long as i did. The worst part is
that he joins all these dating sites and calls himself a proud parent.
Makes me want to slap somebody (preferably him). I can just imagine wat
hes told his new gf

they are proud parents they just dont want to get their hands dirty.

Yeah, but i cant see how anyone could walk out on their child. I couldnt
imagine being without my beautiful baby.

connor hun, from everything lulu has said and shown us, your ex, the
father of the child in question, has every single right to knock on your
door right now and demand you let him take the child with him. And he
does NOT have to let you accompany him. This is different in every
state, but lulu has looked it up for maryland(?) and this is that
states law. Also, just so you are aware, if you are working, or on a
date, or whatever, and the child is at a sitters house, he can legally
go to that sitter and remove the child from the babysitter and run. The
only way you can prevent any of this from happening, is to file a
petition with your court, family division, and have the court determine
custody. Until the COURT determines custody he has every legal right in
that state to go pick up the child and leave, n matter where he lives or
whom he lives with.
Michigans law is identical, and I know this from experience myself. My
exwife and her boyfriend tried to "visit" my kids while they were at my
brothers. His girlfriend stalled them until the police arrived, by
which point my brother had got them out the back window and into the
next neighborhood. And I was on my way home running every stop sign and
traffic light as my brother called me on his way out the window. I had
to tell the police, that we were going through a divorce, I was the
father, and tell them that I would handle ti from there. If I had not
made it there, and my brother had not been able to run with them, the
police would have handed both kids to m y ex and her boyfriend. This
was just two days before the court signed temp custody to me.

So please, go file a petition right now and get that custody issue taken
care of.

another thing connor, do nt try moving until you have made sure it is
legal for you to do so. If maryland copies michigan in this also, the
ex can file in court if you have not gotten the court ordered custody,
and the court will issue a bench warrant to have you picked up to bring
the children back to their father. This is because right now he ahs the
same exact rights as a man that is married.

Well in NH you cant remove the child from the parents or the babysitters
without permission.My ex tried it before he got a custody agreement and
he was straightened out fast.

the problem is though hun she is in maryland, and maryland and michigan
are very strict about parental rights. And they WILL enforce them...

i know..she needs to file quick..
