QUESTION
Can I get sole custody of my unborn child?
Asked on Jun 15th, 2015 on Child Custody - Wisconsin
More details to this question:
I am 7 months pregnant. My child's father is an alcoholic and drug addict, and I do not want him impacting her life that way. I am more than likely going to get custody, and I want to make sure that I get sole custody before my baby is born. He does not want to go to court, but I want to get this settled now.

For technical reasons, most courts will not rule on custody or placement of an unborn child. Consult an experienced family law attorney: he or she may suggest that you prepare all the papers, and notify the lawyer when you give birth. Then the lawyer will file the petition promptly. Good Luck.

When the child is born, you have sole legal custody unless or until a Judge says otherwise. Him signing a paternity acknowledgment does give him some rights so be careful doing so without legal representation.
