Custodial parent letting son move with boyfriend?!?
824978
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!

Girl let it go, that is your decision and your house with your boyfriend. If you did not want to see extra company you have every right to express it and make her pick the children back up. \n\nMy suggestion: Make it a house rule that if the children want spend the night guest over on the weekend they can spend that weekend with there mother. Why because your request is not outrageous, this will keep sh*t down in the future. You may have to revise stuff and add more rules but hey that is your dwelling.

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!! :)

First, depending upon what state you are in, moving in with your boyfriend could get him tossed into jail.  Check out the age of consent in your state.\nIn most states, by the time you are 18, you can move out and do what you wish.  In the meantime, you must learn how to deal with your father on this issue.  He may not understand and may never agree, but you do need to let him know about the depth of your feelings for your boyfriend.

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!

You have to talk to an adult you trust.  (minister, councilor, police.)  This sounds like a very bitter divorce situation.  Your father is punishing you're mother as a punishment to you.  Depending on the child custody agreement, he could be breaking the law.  If your Mom has joint custody, and he won't let you talk/see each other than it could be considered, (still depending on the agreement) as Child abduction (kidnapping)  You must get help.  Even if you did something dumb and crazy to piss him off, this is still wrong!

Does she know you have children? If so, then anytime would be a good time. Try to make sure the situation isn't so akward for your son or your new partner that they want to get away. Your goal should not only be making a proper introduction, but also trying to set up a certain level of comfort for everyone involved so that you, your son, and your girlfriend can all get used to and closer to one another.

I think all parents involved need to sit down together and discuss this...it's a decision that could make or brake this boy. Make a list of pros and cons...hopefully you can come to a reasonable decision. I hope it works out for you.

Well to me it would depend on how long you've been together.  I'm ASSUMING a very very long time if you go so far as to call the boy your "stepson" as otherwise that would not be appropriate.  So since you've been together so long and love the boy as your son I would have to say why would you not go with them?  The fact that you are questioning going is reason enough to me to not go - at least not for now.  Maybe let them go and get settled.  Then see how things pan out once his real mother gets out of prison.

I am confused. Do you really want the boy to get help or are you more concerned about your boyfriend paying money for HIS child? He should pay half of everything. Perhaps you were not perpared to be in a relationship with someone with a child. Also, what exactly would he be taking her to court for? Unless you want custody (and you have already said you do NOT want the child moving in with you) you should let that part go. The court cannot make her take the child to therapy unless he commits a violent act. He is old enough to stay alone. You really have nothing to stand on.

You definitely need to contact somebody... Try starting with your local DVACK shelter... DVACK is for domestic violence... Tell them that you are scared for yourself and your child and get a protection from abuse order, he won't beable to come near you or the baby, and you can get your court proceedings started from there. you definitely need to talk to your local SRS office and tell them you want to start the custody to make sure you have residential custody, because if you don't, he has every right to that child just like you do.  He will beable to take her and there is nothing you can do to get that child back until you go through court and ask for visitation. That can take months to do, if he gets the child before you start the proceedings,and no child should go months let alone days without seeing their mother. If you hurry and do that, if he does take the baby, they could then issue an Amber Alert and put his butt in jail! Good luck, but act FAST, seriously!!!!!!!

In most cases involving minor's counsel, this is an attorney appointed by the Court to represent the child's interests and paid for by the parents.  Unless there is a hotly contested custody hearing, the court usually won't appoint one.  Of course, the exact laws and policies on will vary vary by state.\n\nIf your son wants to come live with you, talk it over with your ex.  You might be able to work something out.  If your ex won't agree, you will need to file a motion for a change of custody and prove to the court that it is in the child's best interest to live with you now.

Yes you skinflint!\n\nForget legalities, do whats right by your son. You should want to support him and not leave it all up to his mother!

Your parents have legal control until you go to court and become legally immancipated.  A court may not allow it, because you are not self-supporting and are not legally married to your boyfriend.  \n\nEither he steps up to be a man and marries you, you get a job and support that baby.... or you go home to your parents.\n\nYou need to consider all of the ramifications if your boyfriend dumps you, Honey.  It happens all the time!\n\nBest Wishes,\nSue

do you have an attorney? i do know that in the state of TX you can ask him be given supervised visitation where you can designate someone who has to be there every time he has the child and in some cases you can even say where he has to be during that time i went through something similar with my daughter in the end he gave up all rights to her so it is OK now but there are options you will just need a good attorney to make sure that you are utilizing the system to your advantage

I'm not sure about the law, but I think this is something between you and your boyfriend.  The way I see it, as a fiancee - and especially as a stepmom - you have the right to discipline them and have some input.  However, most of these things are best left to the mom and dad.\n\nI'm in the same situation, so I understand that it is often hard to understand exactly what your role is when it comes to the kids.  I always leave the big things to my fiance and the mother of his son.  If his son does something wrong, it's okay to say something to him.  If it's something major, I make sure to tell my fiance and leave it up to him to deal with it.  He and I have frequent conversations about his son and I tell him my opinion on certain issues, tell him what I think should be done and leave it at that.  \n\nEven though you're not the mom, you do play a role in the kid's lives.  When they are with you and your fiance, it should be a team effort - but always know the boundaries.
