<p>My daughter is one and her biological dad left us when she was 4 months old. Since that time, he's seen her about 10-12 hours a month for short 3-4 hour visits. Because I was still married when she was born, my husband (not bio dad) is on the birth certificate which was all fine and dandy. Told bio dad he didn't ever have to pay child support, etc. He's now starting to threaten to go after me for joint physical custody. I have no intention of not letting bio dad see her and really want nothing from him. Bio dad can't give up his paternal rights and let my husband adopt because he currently has no rights as my husband is her legal father. My husband is fine with being legally responsible for her even though we may or may not reconcile.</p>

<p>So, anyone in Maryland, is there really a chance he could get her more than just visitation. The thought of that scares me. My daughter hasn't been away from me at night and really not more than 3-4 hours at a time. Any advice on how to plan for the future. Bio dad has three other children which I would think would keep him plenty busy and he's offered no support (emotional, moral, financial or otherwise) since he left.</p>

<p>Sort of rambling but really anxious about this whole situation.</p>
