Shared Parental Rights

[summerall84]

I am in an on going battle with my baby's father. All of the sudden he wants shared parental rights. I am not OK with this seeing how he has only been in her life since April. He has not followed the parenting plan quick a few times, with not taking her on his days or making arrangements for her when he was to work on his days with her. Will he be granted shared parental rights with not even taking her now? And will the child support payments stop as well because we are sharing the responsibility of her?

Thank you.

Dad certainly has rights to joint custody. How old is the child? Child support is based on both parents incomes so if he makes more than you, you likely will receive some child support but I do not know what state you are in. How old is the baby? The fct he wants in the childs life says a lot and joint legal custody is very common. It does not mean he will wind up with 50/50 parenting time.

Gold Digger / Just want the $$???

Are you trying to stop him from being a part of your child's life? Do you just want his money?

Sharing custody does not eliminate child support, but at his request, he can have it recalculated.

He can also potentially take you to court for "obstruction and wrongful denials of rightful parenting time" if you do not let him see the child.

On a lighter note, you should feel lucky that he wants to be a part of the child's life... There are overwhelming numbers of fathers who don't want to have anything to do with the children, and I am a firm believer that children need their dads as much as their moms!

Heh...Hey Nick...I ask you again. Why would ANYONE be stupid enough to listen to your advice when you can't even follow the TOS of ANY of the legal sites???
