how often should i allow him to see his son?

well ive just had a baby who is now two weeks old, my now ex partner who broke up with me 3days ago because he doesnt feel anything for me anymore, lied about wanting this baby back last june!!! he now wants to know my son after deciding that he didnt want to ly to me anymore and fessed up the whole thing... he started to question his feelings last july when i got caught preg and didnt speak up until now about any of this. bearing in mind he DID NOT WANT this baby in the start,,, his words not mine!! i have always said that he has the right to see his son and will never stop him as long as he helps me raise him like he should.. ie responsability with share of expenses (helping with money) etc. but yet he has left me on my own, with post natal depression in which im struggling with anyhow to raise this child alone. how often is enough for what he has done?? his words are that he wants to see him as much as possible so no guide lines with him. thanks for the help.

    I think you should let him see his child as often as he wants aslong as he's helping you raise him..if hes not providing financial support then tell him to take you to court to set up a visitation order/child support order.

    I think it is important that how much he sees his kid has nothing to do with your own differences. Your question has alot of info on problems the two of you have together and I cant help but think none of that should make any difference on how often he gets to see his kid. Sounds like he hasnt been the best partner and my sympathys go to you on that one, but you need to let him try to be a good father. And can not restrict him from seeing his child because he has made you unhappy. Let the court split custody between to two of you and let him be as involved as he wants to be. Good luck

    I think going to court can solve a lot of your problems. With his rights and such.

    If that is too much, I think twice a month or so will be even, probably, too much. You are the mother, and you should be in charge of the newborn. Unless you don't want him, give him to your ex and start over. In any case, the baby is his too.

    I'm sorry that happened to you. I wish you the best of luck.

    I would let him see the baby often as it suits you if by chance he is not supporting you and bub i would advice you to get a court order done.make sure you look after you and your depression get alot of support as much as you can and good luck.
