Currently my boyfriend who is my babies father and I are together. Lately when we fight he threatens to leave me, take our son with him and I would have to go to court to be able to get him at all. Getting threatened with taking my child from me is absolutely infuriating. Currently I’m not working and he is the only one with a job, so I stay at home and care for our son and his toddler from a previous relationship which they have joint custody. Because of him always saying he’s going to my son from me I want to find out completely what my rights are. Is it possible for two people to be dating and share a child, but one parent has more rights than the other? Like could I get some kind of custody that would basically be that he cannot take him from me and I am the one with the most say? As I said before he has a job, but doesn’t buy anything for our baby. He’s 4 months only and he’s only bough diapers twice so far. I’m fortunate enough to have a family that is willing to help me out as much as possible and if my son is running low on something or needs something they’re more than happy to get it for him. Of course when I get a job that won’t be the case, but I’m just not sure that if it comes down to him leaving me and trying to take my son away if me not working right now will have an effect on custody decision.
