QUESTION
What can I do to ensure that we are left alone by this criminal?
Asked on Dec 27th, 2016 on Child Custody - California
More details to this question:
I made a terrible error and put the name of who I thought the baby’s dad was on the birth cert even though it was a one-time causal sex situation. Unfortunately, this person turned out to be a drug dealer and addict and is in jail. I have since left the state but now I am getting letters from the courts that I have to swab the baby and appear in court about paternity. They have assigned this loser an attorney. I know he wants to baby so that he can sell her for drugs. He is a bad guy even threaten me. I am terrified. Can I just ignore all this and maybe it will go away? I want nothing to do with this person and I feel I am in danger.

Is there a court order to do the DNA test? If not, you don't have to do it just because some agency asks. Is the child over 2 years of age? If yes, the alleged father may have lost his rights. If paternity can be proven, you can still perhaps limit visits to supervised only. You should review these issues with an attorney.
