I am a little confused about this?... you dont want the father to have the child by himself? why?

It seems to me that in most states both parents have equal rights. That is, you give the court system a reason to believe that you do not deserve your rights, i.e. drug abuse, violence, etc. Just keep a level head about everything, do what is right for you and your baby, and seek expert legal counsel if necessary. The resources are definitely there--you just have to know where to look. Legal Aid might be able to help. I am curious also, if you and your baby's father are going to get married, why are you worried that he's going to take him away from you? And if that really is a great concern to you, why are you marrying him?

There is no law about mothers rights or fathers rights. He could take the child and not get in trouble for it because techinally you both have custdoy of the child until a court of law says other wise. Even if you to court the will award joint custdoy with one of the parents being the primary parent unless it can be proving that the have joint would harm the child. I know all of this because Im going through it right now the differnce is though the father of my kids is more like a sprem donor.

My advice to you is to not get married.
my daughter did and now she is stuck with a bum.
Next get down to legal aid and see what your options are and get some child support proceedings going.

You sound very confused and scared. Are you in an abusive relationship?

I could easily be wrong, but I heard somewhere that breastfeeding is respected by the courts. If a mother is breastfeeding, the courts may limit the time a baby is allowed to spend without his mamma. It sounds like you need to put your future marriage on hold until or unless you feel more confident in your and your baby's relationship with your fiance.

I'm really not understanding your initial post. You're engaged, yet you two are talking about "RIGHTS". Are you sure you two are ready for marriage if you're already planning to not be together?
