To be honest, I think you have no idea what you are going on about, first the comment about not making the father pay for the next 18 years and now this..

If the father of the baby had treated her correctly in the first place, then the situation would probably be somewhat different. Either way, if the father can't keep his fists to himself around a woman he supposedly loves, then do you really think he will around his child? I'm sorry, but in my short experience of life, a leopard never changes its spots.

Furthermore, the father should pay child support as it is his child after all, he needs to take responsibility for his actions, and it would be the same the other way around, if the father was to bring the child up rather than the mother. As for seeing the child, that is completely down to the mother since you don't know the father, you don't know what he is capable of, the situation is not black and white.
