[quote=Anonymous]9:23 You don't know the law. A parent is a parent whether the parents have been married or not. If he wants visitation, if he wants the child to do overnights at his home, he has a legal right to this. He also has a legal right to pay or receive child support, depending on his earnings. If OP earns lots, and he earns a little, and the child is at his place one, two or even three nights a week, yes, OP may owe him child support.

As for travel, the countries of Mexico and Canada require documentation from the other parent. For each trip, not a blanket letter. Other countries might, too.

OP, it was great you were doing therapy during your pregnancy but you really should meet with a lawyer and get a sense of how the system works and what would happen if your daughter's father wanted shared custody for instance. The key person here of course is your daughter's father and what he wants and that could change over time, which is why I suggested in an earlier post to go with the flow for a few months or longer and see how he evolves.
