[quote=Anonymous]well I ask because the answer to your questions/concerns vary by which you are in. If hes not on the birth certificate it will be harder for him to petition for custody or atleast add a barrier/ step to it. I do want to point out though atleast in our case (dad and I had a brief relationship) he started out as a crappy dad but really in 5 years has grown into a GREAT dad.... give him a chance to work things out with your daughter on his own. when he is there go take a bath, catch up on bills, run to the grocery store, let him work it out if she cries or needs changed or fed handing her to you is the easy way... force him to work things out it will be okay... let him either grow into a dad or disappear befor shes big enough to understand. I would not press visits. Send emails letting him know updates if you want. Let him know when appointments are so he can decide not to go.... if he files later you can say look I tried to include him he made these choices. [/quote]
