Baby daddy idk how to. Communicate with him
Show your support
Has he actively said he wanted to be in baby’s life since all of this? Is he on the birth certificate? I would message him an update of the baby and ask if he’d like to see them and if not, you know where you both stand. But do not go chasing him and arguing with him when he’s ignored you both for 4 month + You can ask for child maintenance but I’m unsure of the rules in your area if he’s not on the birth certificate!
@Sarah wow you’re still doing this
If he hasn’t checked up on you, I wouldn’t bother adding salt to the wound. I’d give yourself time to get over the situation before attempting contact, and if you need the help financially and you can’t wait definitely put him on child support. I’m so sorry you’re going through this
it’s not for you it’s for the baby, if he wants to support the child i would let him unless you have good reason not to let him be there
@Emily but he’s not.
@Kayleigh then you can’t really force someone to help financially unless ho put them on child support
If he knows the baby is born and hasn't tried to get in touch again since you told him, I would not reach out again. Let him be the absent parent that he wants to be. If you put him on child support he'll probably suddenly want to be involved with the baby, so just weigh the benefit of that. Did he sign the birth certificate or establish paternity?
He went to live with his mom?🙄
Similar situation here. Decide if you want him involved or not. If you don’t want him around you’re best on your own and not expecting help from him. If you’re ok with him around you and the baby take his ass to court asap for child support. Don’t wait just do it. If you don’t think he’s a danger to you or your baby make him help.
