HELP!! Child custody information.
My son is 1 month old. His father and i are not married but he signed the birth certificate. We broke up before i found i was pregnant but maintained a relationship. I tried to make it work for our unborn but his alcohol abuse and cheating made me change my mind. A month or so before the baby was born i gave him the opportunity to get his self together and the baby and i would move in with him so he could bond with our son but we would only coparent our relationship was over. He agreed but he didn't stop drinking. He reeked of alcohol when he came to the hospital for delivery. I let it slide since it was the night of July 4th. However he was drinking in the recovery room with me and the baby. Anyway for our son i went to stay with him after being released. He drank everyday at least a 6pack a day. We argued every day. He complained that i breastfed alk the time. He expected me to clean cook take care of the baby and give him sex within a week of being out the hospital even though we aren't together. So he would leave after work and stay out past 4am, 8am and was arrested for disorderly conduct one time even told me when he came in at 4am that someone pulled a gun out on him. That should have been a reality check but NO. Final straw he went out for tissue at 9pm and stumbled in at 1230. He tried to wake me and the baby up "to spend time together " when i refused he took the baby in the living room for a few minutes then brought him back and put him in the bed. He left the room and came back and laid on half of the babys body i heard the baby start to cry and yelled at him to get up but he was passed out so i got the baby and left the room. The next day when he woke up still drunk throwing things i told him what happened and that we were leaving. We left while he was at work and he thinks we are coming back. I want to file for custody but i know in the meantime i will have to let him have visitations. Any advice of how to go about this?
