My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Washington
My sons father contacted me a few months back asking to be in my sons life. My son is now six years old. He has only come around probably four times since my sons birth. We both have remarried. I've asked him to pay child support because we've fallen on hard times. My husband pays child support and also for his daughters medical bills because she has cancer and it's been hard to find a job that would hire me with my sons school schedule. He refuses to pay child support because he feels it's my husbands responsibility to do so because we are now married and his reasoning is because he takes care of his stepdaughter with no help so we shouldn't be asking him for financial support. I've never asked him for help before but I need his help now but he refuses to. I've reiterated that this is not for me this is to help our son but he feels his responsibility is to support my son and that's it. He is stationed in a different country and I don't know how he can support or help me from all the way where he is. He has threatened to take me to court to get custody of my son because I can't take care of my son because I'm asking him for money. My son has asthma, bad allergies, and Sclorosis. I've never asked him for help before and he keeps bringing up that I've pushed him away. Yes, I admit I did tell him to leave us alone because I felt he wasn't consistent in my sons life. He was rarely around. My son is six and he still doesn't know his father and his father blames me. My question is, what are my legal rights and does he have grounds to take my son away from me? He is not on the birth certificate because he wasn't around for my sons birth or ever. When he came around it was brief and then we didn't see or hear from him until now. I have no problem giving him visitation rights because I want my son to know his father. As angry as I am that he doesn't feel obligated to help me, I am doing this for my son but I fear that he will take my son from me. Is he able to take my son from me? What rights does he have and as his mother what am I legally obligated to do?
