Re: what should i do

First, it must be determined if the boyfriend is the child's father. If he is the father, custody is determined by the evaluation of which parent is more nurturing and a better parent. Psychologists and social workers are involved and the judge decides the question of custody.

You should hire an attorney where you live to advise you on and handle this matter for you.
