Post: my ex has taken both my baies from me
Posted by Mary Jimenez on 5/12/10
Hello. Well where to begin...
In January 2010 my ex ran off with my daughter while i was
in the hospital in the ICU with my newborn son who had
RSV. It is now May 12 2010. Two days ago he took my son.
We went to child supprt hearing and he reported me to the
police for having traffic warrants. So I got arrested. He
contacted our cps worker and went and took my 5 month son
out of daycare. cps said they had no choice since i was
not present.
I was in a very abusive relationship with him. He
constantly hit on me and kicked me when i was pregnant
with both babies. I never left because I feared for my
life and my families life. I tried to leave but he always
said he would kill my mom and sister if I did not return.
Now I am in a Salvation Army transitional living program.
Enrolled in college seeking a criminal justice degree.
Trying to become self sufficient after years of being in a
relationship where I actually depended on him.
So here are some facts: I signed acknowledgement of
paternity with him for both babies. But I honestly felt
like he would harm me if I didn't. He was unfaithful and
harsh so I had another man in my life that I turned to for
comfort. I felt he would hurt or kill me if he knew I was
also unfaithful toward him. Q
QUESTION 1: Will I be in trouble with the law since it is
under risk of perjury that I signed it.
FACT: He has not had dna tests for both these babies and
is only a presumed (petutative) father. He has not seeked
his rights as a legal father or even proven through dna
test that he is their father.
QUESTION: Can I take the police with childs birth
certificate and ask for my child back? He is not on my
sons birth certificate so I am assuming I can get my son
back. I have been advised that even if he is on my
daughters birth certificate that he is still a petutative
father since there is not paternity established through
dna.
Is this correct?
Any information would be appreciated that can help me
better understand the law and our rights. We have a cps
case and he has a history of using drugs and neglecting my
daughter under the influence of cocaine. cps is not
helping. They seem to prefer the father since he lives
with his mother in a house and I live in the program I am
at. Cps also showed him where I live knowing that he has
threatened my life.
This is urgent. Please respond to me as soon as u can at
your earliest convenience.
Thank You
Mary
