Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Hi I have a question. I am currently 12 weeks pregnant and the child father keeps pressuring me to have an abortion. He says that he doesn't want her and that if I end up having her that he'll hate both her and I. He's threatened to kill himself if i don't have an abortion and I have his messages saying that. On July 3rd we got into an argument,he choked me in front of my 6 year old daughter and he knew I was pregnant at that time. We've gotten physical before and now he says that if I keep the baby that he'll take me to court and file for full custody because I have no job ,no high school diploma,and that I wouldn't be able to support the baby and my 6 year old. He threatens to call dcf on me and on my family that have nothing to do with this. He says he's going to involve everyone and bring everyone down and have both my kids taken away all because I don't want to abort. Idk what to do anymore,I need help and answers. Can he take her away if he says he doesn't want her? He says he'll drug test me and yes I admit I've smoked weed before I knew I was pregnant but nothing else. I'm stressed and don't know what to do.

Stop doing drugs. Stop buying in to his lies. Get a lawyer.
If you want this baby, then have this baby. Get a restraining order on him to get out of your house and away from you and your other child. Since he has threatened harming himself and others, you can have him baker acted. They will hold him for 3 days for an evaluation. Go to the police ASAP. Then go to the nearest Legal Aid and get help with getting a lawyer and taking care of this matter. You can receive child support. YOu can contact the Dept of Revenue and start getting help for you and your child
