I am legally the boy’s biological father, with all the rights and privileges pertaining thereto now. So if push comes to shove I am fully prepared to invoke those rights, drag her ass to court, and we can do all that custody stuff she never wanted to do.
Hell yeah you should if it comes to that! I was reading with bated breath through that first paragraph and relief when I saw you filed for paternity acknowledgment. You’re his dad and no one should try to erode that relationship. Hopefully you’ll never have to go to court though!
That’s exactly why I lined up a lawyer for custody when I knew I had to divorce my ex.
I try to be as patient as I can with her because I still care about her. She’s got a lot of mental health struggles and she’s been through hell. Sometimes she takes it out on me in ways she doesn’t intend, and 99% of the time I can just confront her directly and that solves the problem. I already confronted her about this, and I haven’t decided if I believe her story yet but at least she knows where I stand. Legal action is the nuclear option but I’m hoping that this gets resolved well before that.
You’re a good dad for doing so as well. End of the day, that’s still your kid’s mom. I’m glad you’re standing up for your rights without being an out and out asshole about it lol
Wishing you all of the luck and lots of good things ahead on your parenting journey!
