My partner and I have only been in a "de facto" relationship for less than 8 months technically. I have a 4 year old from a previous relationship and he has no children. He hasn't financially supported me or my child in the 8 months we lived together and I wasn't allowed to tell centrelink we were a couple because he "wasn't going to support me too"
There has been a lot of infidelity on his half tbroughout the relationship.
Now things are over and he's being nasty, and insinuating he has rights to joint custody of my son. Does anyone know the technicalities of a situation like this?
Does my ex have rights to my child?

No. Freaking. Chance.
What a maniac. you can turn your phone off & never have contact with him ever again.
Hahahaha he's a wanker definitely no chance of joint custody. Block him on your phone and social media. I'd probably move, just to save your sanity. 8 months is far too short for him to get anything and given that you weren't living together (legally) he wouldn't even be able to claim that!
He would look like a freaking weirdo trying to get access to someone elses child in this situation
Unless he can prove he's either a) the biological father, or b) adoptive father (legal adoption of your child took place), he'd be laughed straight out of the courtroom if he tried to take you for custody.
For that extra peace of mind you could even give a family relationships centre a ring and chat with them; I can assure you they will say the exact same thing that he has no grounds or legal standing for any form of visitation or custody over your son.
Omg just block his numbers. Your lucky you dodged a bullet! He is a nut case. You never have to hear from him or see him agaim!
Remove him from your life altogether... he is just trying to control you. He has no rights what so ever. Don't even consider it... your son does not need someone like that in his life.
