So I've been having major issues with the mother of my daughter. The bitch is a lunatic.

So here is the rundown. I have no rights to my daughter because she was born out of wedlock. When she was born I sign a "Paternity acknowledgment form" at meaning that I claim her as my own. This does not mean I have any rights to her. All that means is that her mom can get child support out of me. So every pay check child support is automatically garnished out of my wages. As far as the law is concerned I'm just a random sperm donor.

To even have some sort of rights I have to pay a lawyer $1500-$2500 to get her legitimated. That means I have to file for a DNA test and have the courts verify that she is mine. The thing is as much trouble as I go through with her mom. If she turned out to not be mine and she was gone for good that would kill me.

The next step I have file for visitation and custody. Which is going to suck because her family is like royalty in the town that I have to file in. On top of all that it's probably going to cost another $5000-$15000 because I won't fight for anything less than full custody. I only say that because her mom is seriously fucked up in the head and I fear that my daughter will turn out like her if she is raised by her.

I think it fucked up that we have to pay the price at the hand of all those dead beat fathers in the past. It sucks that women have all the rights in the world. And they wonder why so many father kidnap their kids and run away with them. I mean to even jump start the system take thousands of dollars and several months. No one wants to be away from their kids that long.
