joint custody does not mean joint parenting time. It just means he is going to be in on some legal decisions for the child. He has every right to ask for a DNA test more guys should. The baby is only 6 weeks old so the fact he is out of state and has not spent that much time with the baby is really not a huge deal right now. Who moved? And with him being out of state it is going to be almost impossible to get much parenting time of a baby but I am thinking his state has jurisdiction if you are the one that moved.
It doesn't matter how long he's been away. The judge can do anything. Don't let your emotions in the way.
Ditto. Illinois does everything and anything to keep fathers around and they make it difficult for a parent to attempt to get sole custody. They believe a child needs a father and mother, even if the father is a douche.

Well he is allowed to want an abortion that is actually natural among any unmarried men. Of course they dont know what women go through to get one and the emotional and psysical toll it takes. during a pregnancy a man has zero rights. You moved quite a distance so if hs files in his state and they have jurisdiction right now it sounds like, they might be problematic for you. The courts also may require you to take some of the hit on transportation costs. How long have you been in PA for? What state has jurisdiction do you know? If you have been in MI for more than 6 months it sounds like your state might have jurisdiction. If you moved that far away and he has seen the baby once and the baby is only 6 weeks old that is not that bad. Remember you created the distance here. You are going to be required to take on some of the costs here. an attorney is expensive I hope you guys can reach an agreement before you bot are broke and northing resolved. good luck.
joint physical custody is not really feasible interstate. joint legal maybe. if he continues to be scarce dnt worry much about it. if he tries to step up now though, talk to him, communicate, tell him you will not allow disrespect to yourself but you are willing to communicate civilly if he really hs the baby's best interest in mind. and follow with that.
wanting a paternity test may sting to hear but if you were not together when the kid was born or were in a casual relationship then its not surprising really and id encourage my sons to ask for one if they got a chick they were only with briefly pregnant (i dont know if that is your situation)
i dont think thats accurate. teh state the baby is born in would be jurisdiction. mom can do what she wants before it is born.
if she had the baby THEN moved, the state she left might have jurisdiction and shed swallow some transport costs.
