[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is it you are wanting the court to do? Grant you full custodial rights? Why don't you just tell him you're doing this so it doesn't appear like a sudden, hostile act. Couldn't you just give him some papers to sign since he's in agreement with you?[/quote]

Don't take this to court.[/quote]

Did you read the update? He isn't going to sign anything. He's happy because he has zero accountability, but still can push the level of being a "parent" without paying a cent of child support or actually seeing his kid. It's screwy.

OP, I would try to formalize things. I would also stop talking outside of email and hard copy letters. I would also use the grandparents to get information about where he is so you can serve custody papers on him. I would also file for sole physical and legal custody and seek support including back support. If he balks at having to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars, you can offer to settle and just take the custody and leave the money out of it. If he is as cheap as you say, he will likely opt for this.[/quote]

What jurisdiction are you in that allows one to collect support prior to the date of filing the petition?  The only time I'm aware of this happening is in DCSE cases where the CP is receiving welfare benefits and the state recoups them.[/quote]
