Full Question:

I want to leave my boyfriend. We are not married, but we have two children. He wants to fight me for joint custody. Can he do this? He just does not want to pay child support.

Answer:

Is his name on the birth certificates of the children as the father? If it is, he can sue for joint custody. If it is not, he has to first prove that he is the father of the children.
