Without knowing the specific nature of his threats it is not possible to advise you what steps to take. If the baby's father is threatening to take legal action against the mother to obtain custody, your response is totally different than if he is saying, "I'm gonna come to the hospital and take my baby," for example. I suggest you and your friend visit the Family Law Facilitator at the Solano County Court: http://solano.courts.ca.gov/Courts/SolanoLegalAccessCenterSLACandFamilyLawFacilitator.html Explain to them the exact details of the situation and they should be able to help or refer you to other local resources.
