He wants to ask his two best mates.. One of which I haven't met to be guardian for our unborn child

[Busybee2029]

Am I wrong in saying to my fiancé I'd like to meet this one freind before we ask him to be a guardian for our daughter?
He text me today while he was at football (drunk) to say

I'm here with my two best friends can I mention guardianship to them.

I said yeah that's fine but I'd like to meet the second before we make it official.

He then went in a hump saying just trust me for God sake.

Am I wrong?

Guardianship? If someone asked me I wouldn't even know what they meant. Is he getting carried away with excitement?

[Busybee2029]

Thanks guys I knew I wasn't flying of the handle for no reason.
I've told him untill he's sober and learns to mature his approach I won't be having any more discussion with him about it

he does realise its a baby and not a pet hamster.....how old is he ffs

Don't know about English law, but I just did my will recently and appointed a guardian...not leaving my child to someone, but ensuring that they would be looked after. Apparently the guardianship could only be challenged if there were child welfare issues or the guardian was seen as unfit for the role.
With no proper paperwork, it would be up to the court to decide on who they thought was best.

Well done.

Are you fully aware of the legal and financial implications of having a child without being married? If you split, his only legal obligation to you is the basic minimum child maintenance which is a pittance.

Do you jointly own your home or is it all in his name. Same goes for savings, pensions etc. Women often take an income and career hit after having children without realising that they have no legal right to financial support from their partner unless they are married.

Exactly what Hedda said. I can't count the number of times women on here have discovered that to their cost.
