Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

help me out a lil

my x keeps text messaging me telling me that i need to talk to him. i 16 years old and i am 9 months pregnant and i am due any day now. i will be 17 in December. i don't feel comfortable talking to him nor do i want him knowing where i am having her. when i first found out i was pregnant he threatened me saying that if i didn't get an abortion he would hit me in the stomach till i miss carried. then after i decided not to abort the baby him and his father called mine and my mothers phone and threatened to file for full custody if i didn't abort the baby. do i have to talk to him? tell him where i am having her? tell him anything? he walked out on me. i talked to him when i was a few weeks pregnant and i tried to get him involved and he was rude so i gave up and then i had not talked or heard from him. then he decides to text me now. every time i give in and talk to him he is always rude and always has something to rub in my face, like getting a job, or having a lot of money. if he takes me to court i cant afford an attorney. i love this baby to death and she isn't even here yet. i don't want to lose her. my x is making everything so stressful.

You would probably qualify for a DVRO on these facts. There is an office at the courthouse where you can go and get some advice.

You'll also have a basis to ask for child support. The same office will be able to direct you to a clinic where you can get real legal advice.
