Hi Hannah! How can I assist you today? Could you please provide some details about your legal issue?
I have been harassed, stalked, bullied, threatened and so has my friends and family. Fake accounts have been made to harass and some even pretending to me, friends and family. I have over * screenshots of harassment, had to change my number, delete social media, and move . There have been ver * hours of social media lives about me and making untrue statements about me and my daughter. Stating she does not exist. all because I have not posted her online. Do I send proof of the existence of my daughter to the non legally acknowledged father along with medical records of when I found out I was pregnant and gave birth and tell him about the things occurring with the people he surrounds himself with doing these things with proof and say I do not consent to this information being shared but you can confirm or deny to these people in hopes that maybe he will tell him that he has in fact seen proof and the harassment stops

the cops do not care. itis at the point where I have filed so many police reports about different things happening and they refuse to file one or listen to what I have to say.
I'm really sorry to hear that the cops aren't being helpful. Have you considered seeking a protective order or restraining order? This might compel law enforcement to take your situation more seriously. Also, what city are you located in? This will help me provide more specific guidance.

Understood, Hannah. If you change your mind or need any further guidance, please feel free to reach out. Stay safe and take care.
I am asking that since these things are happening are done by the non legally acknowledged father of my child, his girlfriend, her friends, and they have roped in two women I stopped being friends with. The harassment is about my daughter not even existing. The only way to make this stop completely would be to send him proof. such as a heavily redacted picture of my daughters birth certificate with only my first and middle name, My daughters First and middle name, and the year she was born. A heavily redacted screenshot of my heath record showing date, my first and last name, and pregnancy test results. a pill bottle with my daughter's name on it showing when the prescription was picked up. But also telling him he does not have my consent to share the documents with anyone other than his legal council and if he does I will pursue legal action against him. He can however confirm or deny to others he does in fact have the proof.
Case Rating: *
Hannah, sending proof might help, but it could also risk your and your daughter's privacy. Consider consulting a lawyer to guide you through this. They can help you draft a clear communication and take legal steps if needed.

I know how to do that. The other question I have is that with a redacted birth certificate be enough for him to use as "proof of life" to take me to court?
Case Rating: *
Hannah, a redacted birth certificate can serve as proof of life, but it might not be sufficient for legal purposes. The non-legally acknowledged father could potentially use it in court, but it’s better to consult a lawyer for the best course of action.

so if he only had that?
Case Rating: *

However, it would likely be insufficient for establishing full parental rights without additional legal documentation and evidence. Consulting a lawyer can provide a clearer understanding of potential legal outcomes.
