Help from single moms please or anyone who will give advice !

Mentally prep yourself for a possible custody battle, figure out visitation schedules for the dad, make sure the kid(s) have medical coverage under you, and try to stay strong through it all

@Lisa he’s completely giving the baby up to me wants nothing to do with him. He’s a dead beat. So that’s easy. It’s better that way anyway

Build up a support system!! Friends family other mom friends… it takes a village

Make sure you have him sign away his rights! It’ll be so much easier for you. As long as you have somewhere to stay for you and the kids for stable living then you should be okay 😊

@Lisa oh how do I do that? Idk if he would be willing to do that.

You’d have to have a court order for him to terminate his rights as a parent. So you’d have to take him to court and fill out some documents and serve him and ask the judge for full custody

@Lisa oh he definitely wouldn’t be willing to Do that. He said he would give him to be as long as there’s no court and I was willing to do that bc he’s abusive and I don’t trust him around the baby

I mean for some ppl that’s okay with them until they wanna move out of state or get a passport for their kids then they need the other parents permission (passport because of birth certificate parent names) and in case he ever tried to get back at you for moving somewhere with his kid.

You can also have it notarized saying he doesn’t want anything to do with kid and that you will be solely responsible for it. But if you do it that way, be very specific like a prenup lol. But for that you just type up conditions and have you both sign in front on a legal notary and you’re good

You truly believe its BETTER that your babys dad wants to abandon them? Better for YOU maybe, not for your son! This kind of shit causes abandonment issues in later life.

@Rebecca he’s extremely extremely abusive. Are you kidding me! Is he better off being beat? Or mentally or emotionally abused? Is he better living a life in fear like I do. He’s shaken my baby and threatens to murder my baby on a weekly basis? He’s 18 months old But I’m sorry you know what’s best for MY baby. Abandonment issues but alive and well. Thanks for your concern
