My daughter is 4 years old and I broke up with her father not long after she was born. The father has never lived in the same town as us, and has rarely seen his daughter. He only lives a couple of hours away, but has never been willing to use his money to get here. We are still on speaking terms and though he tells me he loves his daughter he has never put in any effort with her. He has never even paid child support.
Suddenly he decided that he wants to be part of my daughter’s life and have her stay with him. This really worries me for quite a number of different reasons:
Firstly, he has implied that he intends to have my daughter around his friends. He has told me numerous stories over the years about some of these people… some of the stories include dealing and taking drugs, living in filth and abusing animals. He also wants to invite his latest girlfriend into my daughter’s life. He has only just started dating this girl, and I know absolutely nothing about her. I really don’t feel comfortable leaving my daughter with him and his girlfriend.
He abuses alcohol on a regular basis and has described himself to me as an "alcoholic". He has a history of mental illness and has problems with anger. He also suffers from bipolar and has threatened to kill himself more than once. The times when he actually has come to visit us he has had a lot of trouble dealing with our daughter’s behavior. One time he became frustrated and burst into tears because she had a small tantrum.
He really doesn’t seem as though he is mature enough to look after a child. He has no manners and thinks that it’s funny to teach children bad habits. I have witnessed him saying inappropriate things to other children in the past. The things that he said to the child were offensive and sexist and go against the type of things that I have tried to teach my daughter so far. I want my daughter to have morals, but I don’t think that her father would be doing her any good in that respect.
My biggest problem is that I feel as though he is rushing into things. My daughter barely knows him and I don’t think she should suddenly be left to spend a night with her father, who is basically a complete stranger to her. I am also suspicious about his motives for suddenly wanting to spend time with his daughter. It is odd that he had no interest in her before and now he wants to take such a big step. It feels like he doesn’t have our daughter’s best interest at heart and is only wanting to do this for himself. What will happen when he realizes that parenting is not as simple as he thought it would be? I think my daughter will behave herself for the first few visits while her father is giving her gifts and spoiling her, but as soon as they get used to each other things will change. I am scared that my daughter will get attached to her father and then end up having her heart broken.
I told the father that I was worried, and he told me that there’s nothing I can do to stop him.
I don’t want to stop him entirely from seeing his daughter. All I want is for his visits to be supervised and for him not to be allowed to bring his friends along.
Is it within my right to set these boundaries? Is her father entitled to overnight visits? And should I get a solicitor?
If anyone could give me some information here it would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

The father of my baby will not participate with child support and now i have had to get a solicitor on to him. He has acknowledged to me that he knows its his baby but sign a stat declaration acknowledging she is his (cuz he knows once he puts pen to paper he will have to start paying) we have asked him to do a paternity test. (to resolve it out of court) he has ignored this completely and now we have to go to court which there going to enforce he do it anyway.
I have nothing to hide here and know 100% he is the father and he does think that as well! why would he want to go to court? where he has been told he will have to pay for the DNA, my court costs and his own!
Please is there something i am missing here?

the father of m 7month old lil girl has never seen her and didnt want her.
Ignored child support and the solicitor for over 3months. I know he is the father and he does too and i have been asking him to do DNA as he wont sign anthing to acknowledge she is his cause he does not want to pa child support.
After all this time he has agreed but i am concerned he will send a mate in or do something to sabbotage his sample altho he does have to go to a place where the pple will take the sample.
Can he sabbotage this? has it happened to someone out there??

m 7month old daughters father (never met her, didnt want her) has been difficult. ignored child support and solicitor!
It has taken him 3 months to agree to DNA (he knows she is his but doesnt want to pa child support and his fam has no idea she even exists) on his affadavit it stated that he would consider what part he will have in the childs life once the test has been done. (which is a crock as he is just afraid cuz i told him once the test is done im going to tell his parents! and he doesnt want to look bad like he didnt want his daughter altho that is the truth)
im just worried…. has anone been in this situation?…..im afraid he will end up going me for 1/2 custodie to be an a**hole….what cud i expect from him once the results are in??? (and im 100 percent he is the father)

i have a baby to a man who doesnt want her, never met her.
His family has no idea she even exists.
I contemplated getting Child Support (but as i am on benifit i really had no choice, but to tell them) he has completely ignored them and now i have had to get a solicitor (which he is also ignoring).
I believe his family has a right to know about her and my daughter has a right to know them. but would it be wrong of me to tell them (they have never met me). its clear he wont tell them. should i wait till after the court stuff is over? im afraid of having conflict with them or them hating me and not wanting to see her cuz of that.
please give me some honest advice as what to do? (my daughter is already 5mnths old). This is about her and her only.

My daughter has been thrown into the deep dark abyss of the saga of child support and custody. Her relationship was over when she discovered she was pregnant. During a difficult and dangerous pregnancy the father denied the relationship occurred, being unable to go back to work she is relying on sole parent pension. Fighting for DNA testing has proven he is the father, he is now refusing to pay child support and is going to pursue full custody. Legal aid no help. Does anyone know of good forums where she may gain support/info.
