[quote=Anonymous]OP,
Congrats on the new little one.

Don't be caught up in the all dads are great propaganda. When you were pregnant he went to therapy twice and stopped. He knows he is not on the birth certificate but has done nothing. He drops by occasionally and holds her while sleeping.

This guy is immature and ambivalent at best and entitled and controlling in your actual experience. You DO NOT want this to control your life, esp if you end up paying him child support. Let things lie and do not initiate anything but calls to a few lawyers for opinions. A friend briefly dated a guy like this. He has made her life a living hell and has not been a great positive force in the child's life. He is not giving you or the child more, don't think that anything will change that but him. if it does, he will let you know. Pray that he flakes off and you can move on. If you pry open this can of worms with this particular guy (not some hypothetical great dad) you will rue the day. Have you ever met his family or had any contact with them? [/quote]
