[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for responses. To those intimating that I can't "force him to be a father"...of course I can't. That ship has sailed. This is about building our lives free of complications down the road. My child's emotional health and well being is tantamount in all of this; hence, her father will always have a role in her life (as long as he's kind and safe with her). Establishing legal custody won't change the amount of time he spends with her, which notable, is nil at this point. If he wants more time, he's got it. He'll always get it. That's what grown ups do...they work with each other.

I am worried about collateral complications though, as 11:24 suggests. He can be unreasonable and spiteful when he wants to be. Signing won't change things in reality, but I fear he will view it as loss of control and push back.

I guess I feel passively bullied by him and I'm tired of it. I want to be free of him, but this is about DD, not me. Just trying to flesh out these issues.[/quote]
