I don't think anyone can stop you without a court order.

Yes, you need to take this deadbeat to court.  I don't know where you live, so it I can't give you any specific advice, but every city has people (usually in the family assistance office) that can help you with the paperwork.\n\nYou may not want to see this guy again, but your child--HIS child--needs financial support, and you should get it for your daughter.

If she moves without your consent, it's considered kidnapping. He's your child, too, and you have every right to see him when you want. Especially since you have joint custody. Talk to a lawyer about that because since you have a court order to pay and see him, she can't just up and leave. Best of luck to you!! :)

Sorry but unless you called the police and reported the abuse when it was going on you are out of luck. Joint custody is the way it happens now.\n\nIf he is abusing the child and you can prove it (your word is not good enough) you can obtain supervised visits.\n\nIf you are not married and no custody order is in place move to another state

Since he knew about it, did not petition the court at that time,  let alot of time go past, the court will view this most likely as allowing it.\n\nBut he will have to petition the court to find her in contempt, and order her to return to the state.\n\nalot better chance had it done it prior to her moving, or as soon as she moved.

Ask both the parents to sign the child over to you.  Then, there will be nothing further that the state can do to take the child away or change the situation.  If the mother is in jail and the father can't support the child, I can't imagine that they wouldn't let the child be with you.

The answer is really simple. I myself has just gone thru this. You Must submit to him in writing that you are moving to another state(if it's over 100 miles) and is taking the child with you. he has 30 days to respond by taking you to  court. if he does take you to court, be prepard to give concessions such as you will drive your son for visits with his dad, etc. another concession to give him equal custody (joint) as he would have a more say so in how the child is raised. this case law is from louisiana so the law differs from state to state as far as moving out of state. best to research the subject by going to your local library where they have law books and should help you to know exactly where you stand. Hope this helps

Payment is child support is not contingent upon anything. Certainly not on whether you see the child.\n\nYou owe child support payments because the child EXISTS not as a fee that buys you the right to anything. \n\nYou may have a right to demand that the child not be moved out of state but that is completely separate from your legal obligation to support your child.\n\nBut if you do not see the child then what possible reason could you have for wanting to keep the child in state?

You have already played a very dangerous game.  Your child deserves, at the very least, the financial support of its father, but presumably, the wife and her baby, who have done nothing wrong, deserve not to have their lives interrupted.  You could certainly sue your baby's father for paternity, but you will have to worry about how desparate he will be to keep this situation from destroying his current family situation.  Without threatening to sue, tell him that you will leave him completely alone if he meets you at the child support division at your county courthouse and agrees to voluntary enforced support payments.  Tell him that you will not terminate the pregnancy, but the only involvement you will expect is for him to voluntarily pay a reasonable amount in support for your child.  Have your attorney (or a child support enforcement agent) help you determine what that amount should be.  If he pays, leave him alone.  If he doesn't pay, or stops paying, inform child support enforcement and allow them to proceed against him.  You must not put yourself or your child in danger by contacting him directly.  Hopefully, he will keep his word and your child will benefit.  Please be careful, whatever you do.

The only way to change your child support if there is a court order is to go to the court that has jurisdiction (more than likely the court that ordered child support) and put in a Motion to change your current order.

Well, You can go to court real quick and ask the court. According the the visitation agreement my husband has with his ex (we have custody) There is no first right of refusal and alls each party has to provide is a written letter 30 days before vacation and information on how to contact, plane flight, etc. \n\nWe were going to take his daughter out of state for vacation, his ex refused, we went to court and the judge clearly stated each party has the right to go on vacation with the daughter there is no right to refusal. UNLESS, there is proof (documented) that you are not going to give the child back.\n\nFile a motion, you dont need a lawyer, it is real easy I have written ALL ofmy husbands paperwork for court and he has won every time.

I think you need to re-phrase your question, because there appears to be some missing information.  Why should it matter that you are pregnamt?  Your custody arrangement would not address any future pregnancy.  Does your custody agreement say where you can live?  If so, you can't move without court permission.  But you can probably get court permission if you have a good reason.  On the other hand, if you have sole custody, with just visitation rights for your ex, you can probably live anywhere you want.  \n\nBesides, if you live in Pa and have a boyfriend in NJ, I assume you live close to NJ.  That should not be a big obstacle for your ex to come get visitation.  But maybe there is some other issue here that we are not hearing about.  So until you put forth all the facts, I don't think you can get a complete answer.

I think if he has been ordered to pay child support some type of parternity must have been established.  He can go to court and stop you from moving out of state.  I would contact an attorney and talk them about this.  Good luck!

Depends on the state.  Many states give the children some say in where they want to live after they turn 12.  If there is a reason why your father doesn't have custody (i.e. abuse) then that may prevent you from moving.  You should discuss it with both of your parents to find out if they agree.  If they both agree then it shouldn't be a problem.

you need to get a lawyer, try legal aid they may be able to help you as long as you are in there income guidelines, he can stop you from being able to move and this will probably affect the current visitation agreement you two have. It will probably come to one having the child during the school year and one during the summer, also alternating holidays. that is if that's what he goes for, he could also go for total custody. Before you move you need to get the courts permission or else you can be charged for this. Be careful, it sounds like you may have a fight on your hands, don't let the thought of you wanting to move in with your current boyfriend, make you lose your child, do everything the legal way so you are all legal and still retain custody.

Is the permission in writing or recorded on any court documents? If not then while I will say it is highly unethical for him do this I would say what permission??  I would be very uncomfortable letting my son move 200 miles away with a man I don't know. Also.. the visitation needs to get worked out BEFORE the move. Get it all in writing and notarized. That way if things go bad between your fiancee and his ex and it all goes to court you'll at least have that much to work with.  good luck!

Well it depends.....   if there is no court stuff going on and no one has been ordered temp custody or perm.custody then the father and mother have equal rights and he can go wherever he wants with the kids but if there is court stuff involved and the mother has temp custody or was awarded perm. custody due to a divorce or through the court then no the father cannot legaly take off with the kids.
