Help with Child custody case. need advice.?


I have a two year old daughter who's father and I were never married. We were living in CT and dating. He never had her full time, sees her every other Saturday (recently more than that), never paid but around 500 dollars of child support.. and he lives with 2 alcoholics (his mother and uncle) and smokes weed (I have witnesses that have seen him smoking weed while pushing her on her swing!!!) I'm not saying he's a bad father, he just can't have her full time. I moved to NC because I was in the army, I got pregnant with my fiances child, now 6 weeks along, so I wanted to go back to CT to get her to live with us because I wasn't going to the army and the apartment is all set up and I have medical for her and a full time job, but he filed papers in CT so that I can't take her here until a hearing on July 17th, he had confiscated her from my parents where she was staying and brought her to his house, now he returned her. he just doesnt want me to move with her. what can i do!!!??

Your hands are pretty much tied until the hearing. My stepson's mother married a military man and she was trying to take my stepson to Germany without my husband's permission. We found out that he had to file for joint custody and/or visitation (we thought he automatically had it because he was the father - NOT) in order to keep him here. We were not trying to stop her from living her life, but my husband was/is very much involved in his son's life and he wasnt letting him go without a fight.

Long story - short version, her husband had to go on without her because had she taken him out of the state of California, she would go to jail.

Good luck!

You go to court. They may or may not allow you to take her out of State. He will be paying Child Support and probably have set visitation rights. None of the rest of your story makes any difference.
