Can he take my grandchild?

[aerokitkat1]

Can my daughter's boyfriend take their 6-week-old baby and leave? They live together, he is named on the birth cert, so I realise he has PR too. He has threatened this a couple of times during arguments and she is scared he will do it. If he does can she do anything about it immediately, or just take him to court?
Thank you.
PS yes I have advised her to seriously consider whether this is a relationship she needs to be in, but right now I just need to know how she stands legally please.

I know what I'm talking about.

All things being equal and there being no allegation of neglect nor welfare concerns - of course breastfeeding is supported by the court. However if there are welfare concerns then breastfeeding does not trump the child's safety.

Nowhere has the OP said there is neglect by the mother, so introducing it to try to make an invalild remark is pointless.

This is legal, not AIBU.

Is this han the father of the baby? You say he's on the birth certificate but also refer to him as mother's boyfriend?
I think that this man is really bad for your DD and I would be encouraging her to get out. He sounds really controlling.
