Re: How Can We Share The Baby?
Report your concerns about the fahter to DFACS and terminate te visits. Keep good records and use the agencies to help you. Since he has nt legitimated the child, he has no right to demand visitation. Note taht his mother may end up driving the legal train because she will insist on seeing her grandchild.
