domestic violence.

There is a warrant out for my bd on a domestic violence charge I put on him almost 2 months ago. I honest to God am scared to let him anywhere near my child. Although I don't want to take my son away from his dad but there is something seriously wrong with him for him to be able to treat me how he has with our baby growing in me. I just feel like he really doesn't care about him and will be very careless. I would only feel comfortable letting my son see him if I were in their presence but I don't want to be anywhere near him. He is a danger to me. I don't even trust his parents, I think if I left my baby with them they would let my bd take him off alone against my wishes. Has anyone gone through this? What kind of custody agreement could I come to bc we are going to court for that & child support.

Hi there.  Gosh, I'm so sorry about this situation but am very very proud of you for getting authorities involved and trying to get out.

He's violent.  Therefore, he loses his rights as a parent.  I think having both parents in a kid's life are important UNTIL something like this happens.  That is a deal breaker.  

Yes, agree that you go through the courts and have a restraining order against him and remove parental rights.  And sweetie, if there is any way you can move out of town to someplace he is unlikely to follow you, I'd do it.  

I would not allow him access to your child via the court.  good luck

I would think you will have to go through the courts. He already has a history of violence with you so I think things will go in your favor as far as him not being able to see the baby, at least until he can take parenting and anger management classes. Or, the court could order visits with someone there, someone the court has appointed. It does not have to be you or his parents.
