size would normally attract.
    Samara didn’t
mind; with two of them working and Alison earning quite a bit extra
in tips from the bar she was working at, they would manage. Alison
even got a rescue dog from the shelter and they named him Bear. The
campus medical cover was good for maternity care as well so she was
covered there. Life was good.

    “ A
father’s rights in California on child custody cases and every
other aspect of divorce and family law are identical to that of the
mother,” Kenneth Demerle, the family law attorney Inga had
acquired for him said. Bjorn looked up in surprise. He had heard
different.
    “ Are
you surprised? Did you think your paternal rights as a father were
less important?
    “ You
might have thought that because I am sure you have spoken to at least
one person who has told you fathers get screwed in California family
court. While the person may not have been that blunt, I hear this all
the time from prospective clients who call me. Fathers tell me that
they have heard dads do not get the same treatment in family court as
mothers or that father’s rights in California is often trampled
upon,” Demerle said.
    “ And
they are not?” Bjorn asked.
    “ Paternity
actions are not a doom and gloom scenario for dads like you. Just
because you are a father in California, and especially if you are the
breadwinner, does not mean you get the short end of the stick when it
comes to seeing your children, and paying or receiving support. There
are things you can do to protect yourself and it’s important
that you know what your rights are as a father in California with all
of these issues is,” Kennedy said as he leaned forward in his
seat, following Bjorn’s progress as he paced around his office.
    “ And
what about establishing paternity? Can we do that when she’s
still pregnant? If it's mine, I want it born into my custody.”
    Kennedy sighed and
shook his head, “California law favors joint legal custody for
parents. It explicitly prefers parents to share in the
decision-making process related to the child. Joint legal custody in
California is all about share and share alike. It is about sharing
information related to the child and making decisions mutually as
opposed to one parent making important decisions in a child’s
life. Joint legal custody includes decisions and sharing of
information about a child’s health, safety, education and
general welfare.”
    “ And
there is no changing that? No loopholes?” Bjorn asked.
    “ An
unborn child obviously cannot be anywhere other than the mother’s
womb so child custody and parenting time don’t apply until the
child is born. However, an unborn child can be the subject of a child
support order. California law states that child support obligations
can start even before the child is born.
    “ For
a father like you, the most important thing is to stay involved in
the process and if the mother excludes you from it then that is what
I’m here for. If she does go ahead and exclude you, then it’s
a point in your favor. However, the judge is likely to rule for
mediation in this case and that is the best case scenario for us
because then we can negotiate with the mother’s attorney to
obtain custody of the child. You say she’s likely after money?”
    “ Yes.”
    “ Are
you willing to…compensate…her for giving you full
custody.”
    Bjorn was silent for
a while, staring out the window. Then he turned to look at Demerle.
    “ Yes
I am,” he said.

    “ Oh
my God you’ll never guess what happened!”, Amy burst into
the apartment scaring Samara half to death when she was trying to
research pregnancy on the internet.
    “ God
Amy, don’t do that!”
she screamed, heart going a mile a minute.
Amy ignored the
screaming, “You won’t guess whose in town.”
    “ I..who?”
Samara gave up and asked.
    “ Bjorn
Fredriksen!” Amy screamed. Samara winced taking a step back.
    “ What
do you mean he’s here?”
    “ I
mean he’s
