I am worried that my boyfriend and his mother might try to take full custody of my child from me. What steps can I take to prevent this? I know Ohio tends to favor mothers, and I am confident I’m a wonderful mom, but I’m still concerned. This is my first child after 4 miscarriages, and he’s even mentioned taking me to court for custody while we’re still together, believing he has no rights. I don’t know what to do, I can’t lose my son.
I began maintaining thorough records of my child’s care and my interactions with the other party. This documentation was invaluable in court, as it demonstrated my active involvement and dedication.
