BabyDaddyTrynaTakeMeToCourt

Recently I received a notice from a sheriff that my baby’s father is taking me to court for joint custody. I need to raise money for a lawyer. He claims that I have been keeping her away from him, but that is not the case. When we met I was 17 and he was 23. I was vulnerable and in a bad state of mind. I was in a bad place. I thought he cared for me. He waited until I was 18 to be with me and while we were in this relationship he sexually assaulted me. When I was found out I was pregnant I was fresh out of high school. I had just graduated. I wasn’t mentally, physically or financially prepared for what was coming. Though I love my child unconditionally, I did try to have an abortion because I didn’t want a reminder of what happened, he wouldn’t help pay for that because he is pro life and I wasn’t financially stable enough to do it myself. I have stated to him multiple times that I am not comfortable with my baby being around him unsupervised because she cannot walk or talk yet. I had even tried to compromise and be civil and let him come to my home and he can spend time with her here. He has not bought diapers, he has not bought milk, he has not bought clothes, he has not bought any baby supplies. He has not provided for our child the three months she has been alive. He doesn’t try to reach out, he doesn’t try to contact me. He has a car and knows where we live. I’ve sent him pictures of her. I’ve kept him updated on her. But he has not been helping. I wouldn’t ask for the help if I really didn’t need it but I don’t want to but my baby girl in a bad situation to where I’m not present.  Please help me keep my baby safe🙏🏾❤️
