I would recommend talking to a lawyer now about your fears. They would be able to help you in the family court situation, giving you advice and possible put a restraining order out on the father. We've had family members do this for those crazy exs. I may cost you a bit but in the long run it it will be worth it for your sanity and your baby's safety.
There also may be a cut off on when you would be allowed to have an abortion depending on how far along you are.
Stay strong, my dear, and know you have the support of you fellow sisters.

PLEASE reconsider signing anything that says he has no responsibility for the baby. No matter what your financial situation, you do not want to close that door in case circumstances change.
I agree that you need to consult an attorney or legal service to get some guidance.
Document, document, document - everything!

Again, thank you everyone for your thoughts, I am eternally grateful!Your best bet is cut him out of your life. If he does not want to be on the borth cert you do not need to put him on, also if he doesnt want to have more children maybe he should stop having sex.. But to get to the important situation. If you can handle not having him around and or not letting him see the child, Do not put him on the birth cert and In NYS the state tries to get a dad on most certificates... In your case just tell them you dont know who it is. He cant have his cake and eat it to. If he wants to see the child he needs to help support it... wether you have financial support or not, He needs to be a man grow a set and be a dad! Good Luck sweetie!
sounds like youre better off without him anyway. that being said, dont let him dictate what you do. You have the choice. Also, think long and hard (you have a while yet) and why let him get away without paying support, its the babies right. You dont need it now, but you might need it some day. And if not, put it in the bank for little one. Not financially supporting his obligation (your precious peanut!!) makes him a "dead beat" dad. That being said, remember that child support and custody dont go hand in hand. Smart that youre keeping track of conversations, save them as you can use them in family court, regardless of when/if you go. sorry if that came out as harsh, I dont intend it to be. Also, so dont put him on the birth certificate. It wont hurt the baby any (from what I gather). If he wants to see the baby, go to family court and have supervised visitation set up when you feel in your guts that its right. Dont let him determine that either. He wants to responsibility, he gets it. And finally, remember that you can come back here any time, these ladies are awesome on this board.
