Re: custody of a baby
While this can be used as one factor in determining who has custody that fact alone is not determinative. You need to speak to an attorney or a paralegal help organization to see what your best course of action may be. You would probably need more than those facts to cut off the father's right.
You can try For Our Children and Us, Inc. (FOCUS) a not-for-profit paralegal organization at 212.693.1655. They also have Brooklyn, Suffolk and Nassau offices.
