In other words, there was a clear indication of fraud?

Already answered this. See other thread.

The courts don't care what you think. The court cares that the child has access to both parents. If Dad files, the very least he'd get is joint legal custody with ample visitation. Incidentally, lying on those papers is a crime. If Dad makes a fuss, your daughter just might end up...

I agree entirely with the above but... what's the nature of the debt? If it's a regular creditor, then yes - you're classed as "judgment proof". If it's a government debt though, that's a different animal.

Where you are is actually important.

There will be no stressful, angry court battle. When baby is born, get paternity sorted out (or not - you can wait until later on for Dad to get paternity out of the way). His Mom has absolutely no standing to interfere with a darned thing here. Please, do not let yourself be...

Oh, I don't know...I'll take a random guess ;) OP may be wary of Dad wanting to come back and be full time Dad in a year or two.

There's one very, very important question here. Have you ever been on State aid? If you have, how long ago and for how long? What's your current earning potential?

Here's the thing. As soon as he turns 18? He can very politely tell Mom to take a hike. Unless you're on certain types of State aid, you cannot be forced to file for child support either, and the State certainly won't do it on your behalf. As it is, she CANNOT stop him from seeing...

Your state does not mandate severance pay.

Were any other minority workers in any other department also let go?

You're very welcome! Now focus on the health and wellbeing of your own little family unit. For the record, most of the time I tend to be sympathetic towards a stepparent who is not going to be able to see his stepchild. But when a stepparent effectively threatens the actual parent and...

The easiest way to do this is by establishing paternity in court. Mom has no say in this whatsoever, and she cannot prevent her son from getting and exercising parenting time. Now with that said, because he's only 17 she could feasibly try to get a restraining order against you which...

Absolutely - he is and will always remain that "legal stranger" to your child. Don't let them try to frighten you into agreeing with something you would regret!

Truthfully, you'd only be prolonging your partner's pain. She needs to heal.

Excellent. I hope this makes you relax a little. Your child is not a US citizen. You are obviously not unfit. Your ex is what's called a "legal stranger". He is not your child's father either legally or biologically. This is directly from Wisconsin: And to expand a little...

Afterthought: which US state is involved?

Does she have dual citizenship?

In case AJ wasn't clear, please be aware that at this point, you're the one facing possible legal action against you. He hasn't been convicted of anything - and legally, that basically means he's neither a child molester nor a rapist. Be very, very careful. If someone sees those...

It's only been 2 weeks - we're volunteers here and it's not so unusual for a thread to fall off of the main page. You want to wait until you've got the stalking order. If she breaks that, there are several options available to you.
