[quote=Anonymous]Adoption is not a solution to poverty. Selling babies is not legal anymore in this country.  Adoption is a solution when a baby and parents are already unable to be together.  This is not the situation.

Ideally the father would be taking 50% parenting time, and paying for the majority of childcare so that mom can work.  It sounds like the father isn't choosing to take the parenting time, so his child support and childcare responsibilities will be high.

If he is renting, and that makes it hard for him to provide childcare, then he should probably move back in with his mom, to free up income.

If he owns the home, he can move back with his mom, sell the house and then use that money to pay child support.  He can move back home, rent out his house and use that money.  He can also explore whether the baby's mother wants to rent the house from him with the child support.

The only ways that the baby's mom living with the OP makes sense are

1) OP's kid refuses to pay child support, or let her live with him, or take parenting time, in which case letting her live with OP until her son goes to jail for contempt and the house is sold to pay arrears makes sense.

2) She is asking to live there to have an extra adult to help her learn to parent.  [/quote]
