Hello,
I have had so much anxiety over my daughter. She is 18 months old, her father has never wanted to be in her life, we were not married, his family wants nothing to do with her. We live in a small town and he thinks its hilarious to bad mouth me and has said negative things about my daughter. I finally decided to file for child support (which he threatened to "f" up my life if I did) He ended up filing for full custody of my daughter and wants me to pay him child support. He is now playing this victim role and his family is telling everyone that I am the one keeping her away and they want her taken away from me because I am unfit. He claims that I am mentally instable because my support system (grandma) passed a way at the same time that I got pregnant. Despite my grief I continued to work full-time and graduated with my first degree. He has so much support from his family and the money to fight me. I on the other hand am struggling to pay my daughter's $500 day care and other living expenses. I am very scared that he will get joint custody of her because he could careless about her wellbeing. Oh and by the way he quit his job because of child support and works for his families towing company. He is going to claim he has nothing to pay but this man doesn't pay bills like a normal person. He goes from one woman to the next and if he doesn't have one he is living with mommy ugh I know I chose him right? lol but I am looking for advice in what to say? I want to present myself to the best of my ability and do what is right for my daughter. Also we live on the reservation.
