I have a 2 week old baby girl. The father and I have been living together, but the relationship is kaput! I want to leave and move home to my family who will help me with care of the baby and myself. The father of the baby hasn't supported me or the baby. I was the one to get the insurance to cover the pregnancy. He hasn't put forth any effort to help financially in any way. Now that I want to leave him because we do nothing but fight, he tells me I will not get custody of the baby. (I am breastfeeding exclusively). He cusses at me and tells me he has a better job and that he will get custody. I am on maternity leave presently and do have a job to return to. My family will help me with financial concerns and babysitting. The father despises my mother so that is a bone of contension for him. I would allow visitation but limited as he drinks and drives and though he says he wouldn't if he had the baby, I can't be sure of that. His mother is very controlling and I fear they are planning to flee with my daughter as he keeps dropping little hints that my family and I are crazy.
