Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

I have a 5-month-old who is very sickly & her father is military. We ended our engagement when he found out I was pregnant & deployed. He doesn't call at all ( I always have to call him to let him see her on Facetime) & when I do call, he's always out with his friends or playing his game. He says he doesn't have to talk to her since she's a baby. He does send money home the 1st and the 15th. He didn't sign her birth certificate but he did waste $500 for a DNA test and enrolled her into benefits. He pushed me when I was pregnant with her and I failed to report it because of his career but I did allow supervised visitation one time he came home. He always calls me names and tells me to shut up and thinks he is the boss of me when I only want him to have a relationship with his daughter. He came to my home and threatened my mother so he isn't allowed back onto our property. Do I haVe to allow him to see her under these circumstances?

Until and unless he legitimates the child in court and is granted parenting time, no. Be sure to do a police report and a report to his commander in a timely fashion for EVERY incident. Do NOT skip that.

Your daughter is more important than his hurt feelings

You can move out of your house and do not have to let him know when or where
