Laws vary from state-to-state, and in addition every situation is unique, and relevant facts may not be known. The answer to the question posed below may not apply to in your state or to your situation. For legal advice in your state and your situation you should consult with an attorney in your state who is familiar with the rules and laws in your state.
“I am pregnant, and will give birth in a few months and I want custodial and physical custody of my unborn child before it is born. The father of the unborn child and I have never been married and he lives in a different state.
How would I go about to get the custody of the unborn child?”You can’t. It is not legally possible.
Question: And shame on you for wanting to deal your own child such a terrible blow as depriving them of their father. Not ensuring that a child has an active relationship with their father is the quickest way to ensure that as a teenager your child will turn to drugs or alcohol, and end up in jail if they are a boy, or as a pregnant teenager as a girl. Why would you want to condemn your poor little baby to such a future, and before they are even born?
