Now here is the real question, were you married when the child was born? If not, then he has no legal rights to the child. You should take your child and get gone! He would have to file a paternity suit and file for custody to get the child. He would also have to pay child support if he is found to be the father. Please feel free to contact me through my web site if I can be of assistance.
