I had two children before I was married. One child's
paternity has always been a question and the other child's
has not. But my boyfriend at the time signed the birth
certificates of both girls. But at the time I also recieved
a piece of paper from the hospital stating that I, as the
mother have full custody of my children unless the father
takes me to court and is awarded rights, even though he
signed the birth certificates. We later got married and
were married for 3 months and realized we can not do this.
So my question is: Once we got married, did that change the
status on the legal custody? Do I still have full custody?
Or is it now considered joint custody or what? I left him
because of his inability to be a good father to his
children. He was very inattentive and sometimes just down
right mean to them. And was the same with me. So I would
like to know if I have to be letting him take the children
with him for visitations at this point, as I am concerned
about their safety and well being. I am in no position to
pay for a lawyer at this time.
