Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Re: custody of my unborn child

When your baby is born you should hire an attorney to file a Petition for Determination of Paternity. If hte court requires you to do so you can take a drug test and prove that you are clean. If you have been on drugs during your pregnancy, you have endangered the baby and you face the risk of losing the baby to the state, or conceivably to the father. The court will allow evidence such as the results of DNA testing if there is any issue as to who is the father. The court will make an appropriate order for child support and may also approve a plan that provides for custody of the child which allows some parenting time to the father. If you need protection from this man's ause, there are laws for that. Consult with and hire an attorney as soon as you can. Do not let this man intimidate you. Do what is best for your child.

Re: custody of my unborn child

This man cannot force you to have an abortion. You should immediately seek a protective order if he is abusing you. And no matter what he says, he is obligated to pay child support if he is the father, so you should definitely seek an attorney.

Please feel free to give us a call.

Re: custody of my unborn child

All that is silly. You will almost certainly get custody, and he will be forced to pay child support. Which is why he is making idle threats. Just make sure you get a lawyer and make sure the proper orders are entered.
