She must petition the court for custody and child support.
She needs to take control of her own destiny. You cannot do this for her. She needs to be the one talking to attorneys.
Court proceedings should be pursued to establish custody, and child support.
While the vast majority of case result in "shared" parental custody, depending on his criminal history, and other factors, sole custody might be appropriate.
If she opts to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that she will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
If her situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area (Hillsborough, Pinellas or Pasco Counties) , I would be happy to schedule her for a no obligation half hour office consultation.
