I want to know what are a mothers right if she wants to leave from one state to another and the father disagre

I think you are stuck.  Your rights as a mother are no stronger than his rights as a father.  You both have rights as parents, and that means that neither of you can pick up the child and move out of state without the permission of the other.  Would you like it if he decided to move to California with your son but not 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

I live in Columbus, OH.  I would think if the father can prove that the mother is not doing a good job, the courts will grant full custody to the father.  The burden of proof rests with the father, though.  Good Luck!

She will have to prove to the courts that she and the daughter would be better off moving. Most courts won't look kindly upon her picking up and moving without a guaranteed job wherever she is moving to. Tell her to get her ducks in a row, then issue a written 30 day's notice to the father outlining the wheres and whys of the move. If he fights it, she'll at the very least be equipped with a good arguement.

It sounds like you have a case of Kidnapping in your hands. You did not mention any kind of court order sigend by a judge, allowing him to have visitation rights or anything else for that matter. Mothers have a bit more rights than a father (at least here in TX) because the mother bears the child and gives birth.\nSince he is not in the brith certificate, even thought he is the biological father of the child, he in a sense has no parental rights to the child unless it has been stablished by the courts, which in this case you have fail to disclose such information.\nShame on you for letting your son go, knowing the lifestyle your ex has.\nYour best bet at this point is talk to your ex and DEMAND that your child be rturned to you or you WILL file a police report with the local authorities.\n\nbest of luck

You need to find a family law practicing attorney. Go to lawyers.com. I'm from New Jersey too and my boyfriend is going through the same problem. \n\nWhat you should do is take her to court for your visitation rights and if she hasn't taken you yet for child support, take her so that you can pay child support. \n\nYou might thinks its crazy to take her so that you can pay child support, but its obvious that if you don't, then you will never be able to see that child. It's different when the father is filing against the mother b/c it shows you want your child and your willing to do anything. The judge will see that. \n\nAs for your baby mother, she won't take you to court. Why? because she knows it hurts you more not to see your son. If you have a girlfriend, then she probably doesn't want her son near her. And she knows if she takes you to court, she will have to give up visitation rights. On the website I provided above, they even list those rights that you'll be granted.\n\nGood Luck.

every state has different child custody laws. this is what mine are:  i moved from cali to texas when my daughter was 3 months old her father stayed in cali. the order was that i had full physical custody and joint legal custody which means i have her all the time but if anything happened, like god forbid and accident, he would have a say in the matter. now that she is 6 she has to see him at least twice a year for at least a week but that is with me there and we split the cost of airfare. alot can be done and you have a while before you have to worry about that.in my experience i have learned that most family courts are in favor of the mothers and a baby needs his/her mother the first year most. stay strong it will all work out. congratulations!

She is considered as an adult , so there's nothing you can do legally if she left with him willingly, the best thing you can do for your daughter is to just support her on her decision and when things don't work out, be there for her, let her know that NO MATTER WHAT you are there for her and that your love is unconditional, what you don't want is for her not to want anything to do with you and when things go wrong she'll be scared to come to you and end up in a worst situation.

It varies from state to state but most states any more look at it like this.  The parent in question is giving up their rights to visitation and make decisions in their child's life not their responsibility to care for the child.  If however, the child is adopted by another person then those responsibilities transfer to the new parent.

I don't know about Arizona laws but in Ohio I had to notify the courts and then they notified my ex and he had so many days to take me back to court. But if that happens the Judge will hear why you want to leave the state and more than likely he will not stop you if you say your going there to get a better job for you and your daughter.

well just sign all rights over to the mother if your trying to get off scott free with no child support well you can't unless you give your kid up for adoption

I don't know every state law but, I know that in most states, if the mother/father can prove that she has a home, stable income , and is competent enough to care for the child. She will be the first choice. If she isn't, family will be the next choice. You can pick a legal guardian but, any choice can be challanged in court.

Sounds like the best thing would be all of you have family counseling together, especially to support the teenage daughter.  If you move, who's to say the the ex won't move also?  I also think it depends on how old the teenage daughter is........it is sad that children have this magical thinking regarding a parent that is unable to give them what they need.  They give them way too much power when it comes to their feelings.....very sad.  The child might be at the point where she says "No thanks" to whenever the mother feels the notion to see her.  I would suggest the family counseling and get feedback regarding the idea of moving.

I wouldn't leave the state because, eventually, she will wise up and realize she needs and loves you.  That you are the only mother she has.  \n\nI would, however, not contact her (for 2 months).  I would want to know how long it would be before she missed me...but that is because I would be curious.  After 2 months, I would make contact again because I would never give up.  I am not recommending you do that...you need to decide for yourself what course of action you want to pursue.\n\nI'm sorry that your daughter is treating you like this.  You are obviously trying but she is just being obnoxious and rude.  Sounds like she is siding with her father over the separation and there is no way to know what he is telling her.  Just take it a day at a time and someday, she will wise up.

Different states have different laws.  The best thing you can do is contact a lawyer.  In my state most lawyers will answer a question without charge.  Usually the answer is that you need legal assistance.  There are many questions you left unanswered...  Are or were you and the baby's father married; if so, he would most likely have rights.  If his name is on the birth certificate and you are not and have not been married, that does not give him any rights unless you grant them to him.  Another possibility is that if he has parental rights, you can have them terminated under certain circumstances such as no contact or support for over a year.  Like I said earlier, it depends on the laws of your state.  In my state termination of parental rights cost $1,500 four years ago.  You might pursue a protection order if you feel the father is abusive to the baby or yourself.

In most states your daughter and the father have all of the rights over the child, if you have reason to believe that the child is in danger then you should seek legal counsel and find out what your state says about "grandparent rights". Some states have them and others do not. Usually though they will not take away the rights of the parents unless there is VERY serious evidence to support that this would be in the best interest of the child. Both parents have joint decision making rights right now.

You have every right to take her back to court. not just to lower the child support, but also to get visting rights. She had to allow you to see them.
