Well no matter, he needs to either give up his parental rights or take responsibility. Knowing who the father is and claiming someone else can in some states be considered fraud and you don't need that. Good luck OP. You and that unborn baby deserve better.

Save the texts, and show it to the judge during court for child support. That will hopefully be used to keep him from having any visitations with his baby. You don't want that type of person around a baby, he may kill him/her out of spite and to hurt you. I have read one too many articles about the biological father murdering his child to get out of child support, or to get revenge on his ex.

Do not lie to the current boyfriend that it is his. It's a nightmare down the road for the baby. Child support, adopt out, or end the pregnancy. Your is blackmailing you for the fact HE got you pregnant. Don't waive your legal right to have him support his own flesh! (At least child support if not more actively).

Save all of these texts, screen cap them and email them to yourself. You might need them later if anything goes to court, or worse, if you have to call the cops because your ex is threatening you. Even if you remotely think any bit of him is good (which doesn't sound that way) still SAVE THE MESSAGE. It doesn't hurt to never need them than to wish you had them. Wouldn't hurt to also screen cap what number that came from so if he tried to claim you set him up (changing the name on the number to seem like his) you also have evidence it was from his phone.

Abortion time

Okay so someone here mentioned suing for child support and also full custody. No. You can't take his child away and then require he pay for it for 18 years. We don't know the full story of this conversation or who either parent is as a person so saying that he might hurt the child out of spite is a little presumptuous. A lot of people freak out when they find out they're having a child, especially when it's a child with an ex who (from what this sounds like) is going to just pretend the baby is someone elses. I hope everything works out for you OP I know I don't have the full story so i just hope everything works out for the best interest of the child.

You should make a record of his response and threat towards you if possible. Stuff like this goes a long way when (and if) you get in court over child support and visitation rights.

sounds like my friends situation. You can easily take this to court after proving it's his and force his ass too pay child support. I wish you luck and hope everything works out in the end for you .

He can either do the right thing, be forced to pay for a long time, or go to jail. All that time spent making your life hell could be spent on raising a child.

Have your ex, you, and your new boyfriend have a meeting to discuss the issue. Resolving things work a lot better when you talk them out in a group.
