my gf is 17 im 22 i want to take care of my child but she prefers that her mother take care of the baby,i really dont want that happening they live in a tiny apartment no space whatsoever for a baby. how early can i file for child custody i have a steady income and i have my own place. my only concern is that i dont want her taking the baby to her mothers and then disappear out of no where. what is the best i can do ?
