[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like he truly doesn't believe he is the father that is behind his lack of involvement. Whether that is justified or not, I don't know. You said he wasn't around during the pregnancy either...how long were you with him before you got pregnant and how long did he stick around after you got pregnant? if you weren't in a committed relationship, he could have thought you were saying it was his because you didn't want to lose him, or because he has money, or for any other reason that women lie about paternity.

is he on the birth certificate? Before worrying about custody and child support I would start with establishing paternity. If he is an involved parent with his other child then maybe a definite yes, you are the father in black and white print may be enough to get him involved on some level.

Why doesn't any of the family want to be involved? What do they have against you...what has he told them? Is it all around paternity? Is this a 'crazy' family or are their feelings that you are harassing them justified and are your actions reinforcing what their son is telling them about you?

If he requests visitation he would likely get that and once he has an established record of visitation he could go for joint custody. [/quote]
