Baby daddy not pulling his weight

Hi,

Im new on here but was wondering if anyone could give me some advice as i am pulling my hair out!

My sons father hasnt worked since before my son was born up until a week ago and he is on probation. He only sees my son 5 days a month and has never contributed towards him financially. I have offered him more time with our son constantly in the past and he has refused it. When he does see him i have to do 90% of the traveling and he is constantly texting and calling to pick him up early as he apparently wont behave for him.

He has recently broken his probation and is going back to court. This is why he has now gotten a job to try make himself look better in court and is now asking for 50/50 custody of our son. I dont feel comfortable with it especially as he hasnt had him overnight in 6 months and my son has never been away from me for more then a 48 hour period. He has said countless times in the past he wants to sign over his parental rights to our son however now wants 50/50.

Due to the emotional abuse from when we were in our relationship i still find it hard to stand my ground when he goes off on one. Im just wondering if i am being unreasonable in refusing to change our current custody agreement?
