Re: Health and Safety Issues

Woman: If you are not married to the alleged biodad: He has
no "parental rights" whatsoever to YOUR unborn child.

If -- and only if -- he ever legally establishes his
paternal rights to YOUR child, then the issue of whether or
not he's a "health" or "safety" risk to the child arises.
Until then, you're making a mountain of a molehills. You
deal with it then -- if he's anywhere around to be found.
All too often, the biodad runs like the wind never again to
be found when he finds out he's looking at 18 years of child
support.
