The father of my child begged me to have an abortion because he felt like a baby would ruin his life. He didnt want anything to do with the baby until he found out the baby was a boy. Now he wants to take my son away from me.
I'm scared. My son's father and I don't see eye to eye on the people he chooses to hang around with. We aren't together. He lives 2 hours away from us and use to see him at least 2x a week. He hasn't seen him in 1 month. He's not helping to support him, and it's not fair. We argued over him wanting to take him to his house and keep him. I told him no. How can someone who is on call 24/7 and doesn't have any off days keep a 10 month old baby? His arguement was he'd find someone to keep him. RED FLAG.
I am not ok with my child being looked after by strangers/someone that I know nothing about and do not trust. He moved the mother of his other child who by the way is 3 months old (you would think that he would learn to wrap it up by now) into his apartment. I have no ill will against this other woman or her child, but my son will never be around either of them if I can help it. From what he has told me, she is mentally ill and has tried to harm herself before. This is not an environment that I want my son to be around.
He hates that I ask him where he's going when he has our son. Is it wrong for me not to want my son around his weed head friends and strung out family members? I'm at a loss here. I planned a trip for my son and I to go whale watching in Victoria, BC and I was informed that I wouldnt be able to get a passport for my son without the consent of both parents. I'm so disappointed. I'm struggling and i don't know what to do.

Take him to court and specify you are the full time parent. If he is not paying support you will have the court on your side.

It's understandable that you do not want your child around your ex's friends or family. That is why you have to ask for supervised visits. You need to print up criminal records and do your best to persuade the judge.

What you can do is control WHEN he may associate with them by including things in the court order about drugs, etc. But you cannot control his association with these people entirely.

Carson, they aren't going to consider his friends' charges or whether half his family is on drugs. They will only look at him.

No, the judge will decide to grant the passport/travel UNLESS you can come up with a good reason NOT to, with full evidence of why it isn't a good idea.
