My baby will soon be two months in a few weeks. she is a doll!! My boyfriend and I do not live together. Im a nurse and he is an engineer. I cut down my hours to 32 hours a week when i was 7 months prego and will continue work only 32 until the baby is a little older. He works fulltime and has never offered to give me any kind of financial assistance. Im currently on maternity leave until this october and have limited funds bc i work in the states. My bf is very frugile and cheap, never offers money. However, now that she is born, he does buy things if i need them for the baby. I dont need much b/c i had bought everything used before she was born. We both paid for 1/2. He buys me things like diapers, formula (im also breastfeeding), and small items. I have asked him for some money in this past month and he has given me a $60.00 and another time $80.00. Its very degrading to have to ask for money and sometimes what he gives me is a joke!! He makes over $100,000.00 a year and has no kids, has a nice house, etc. Okay...this is my question. We no longer get along and I no longer want to have a relationship with him. He also feels the same way. If i ask for child support, im afraid that the court will give him visitation rights and i wont be able to see my little baby for a few days. I know i will get full custody but she is so young and it kills me to know that i may not see her for a few days. Will he still get visitation rights if she is an infant? eg. like every other weekend type thing? because of this, im going to hold off on filing for child support until she is older. What should i do? Has anyone been in this situation? My bf loves his daughter and im 80% sure he will go to a lawyer anyway to get visitation rights. She is just so little and i cant bear the thought of not seeing her for a few days. I need advice!!
