[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weighing in here - don't panic. He's smart to see an attorney to protect his rights. My DH became a dad at age 23 (nearly 40 years ago!), and he and his girlfriend at the time had stopped dating by the time the little girl was born. When my SD was 3, her mom wanted to leave the DC area to move to the west coast. My DH engaged an attorney, and luckily even in the non-dad-friendly late eighties, he was awarded joint physical and legal custody. SD's mom was unable to leave the area unless she wanted to give up full custody. SD's school district was determined to be with my DH. Obviously that was a long while ago, but it was genuinely helpful and important to establish custody, and it set the stage for a cooperative relationship that lasted until my SD's age of majority. Don't catastrophize about losing your son. But do be aware that your contact with your future grandchild will and should be established through the time you spend with him. He will likely be granted 50/50 custody, so you'll have no need to interact with the mom of ppl the child if that circumstance is suddenly offensive to your son.[/quote] Ugh. You dated and married a man a lot of baggage. You had time girl. [/quote]
