Mary and Chad are not married but have a child together...  Mary has had the child in her care since it was born and it is now 8 months old...  can Chad legally take the child from Mary and not return it?  Yes... and it happens all the time...  Make sure if you are the father that you establish paternity.... if you are the mother, make sure you get an order from the court establishing the Parent//child relationship.

If you get a really big check in the mail from a "winnings" or from some place you don't recognize... DON'T CASH IT, until you check it out first!  My recommendations... go to your bank and ask them to check to see if it is legitamate first... they should be happy to do so and you might be saved from having fraud or forgery charges filed against you.
