I am moving to another state with my son and need to know my rights?
I was never married to the father of my 7yr old son.
I have had custody of him his whole life---the only one taking physical care of him (i.e taking him to school, Dr., extra curricular activities..etc...)
I am a full time graduate student and work part time (monthly income of 1K) graduating in May 2010
His father makes 40-45K a year working full time
He pays $100/month and will sometimes give me a little extra if I ask (which I hate doing)
I pay all medical/dental insurance, clothes, school supplies, entertainment, etc...for our son
I am on food stamps, but that is all the assistance I get
We never established custody legally
He takes our son 48 days out of the year (once a week Sat. overnight)
I am wanting to move to WA from OK to pursue a Ph.D and would like to take our son. I am not moving to keep them apart and am willing to send our son to his fathers for two months in the summer and every other holiday/birthday.
I realize that Yahoo answers is not the most professional way to get advice but I am exploring all options. I plan on hiring a lawyer and petitioning the courts for sole physical custody. I would also like him to start paying more child support since our son is getting older (and more expensive).
What are my rights in this situation? thanks

in case you haven't any longer have been given criminal custody wide-unfold, and he's not on the start cert. Than i could say, get to have been you're wanting to be to make a greater robust existence for you and your baby, then set up a criminal order after being there for what ever the state deems you to be a criminal resident. oftentimes the place ever you make certain the criminal order is the place you're locked in. And that has it very own issues, like asking the court and him for permission to circulate and why. do no longer forget that visitation and financial help are to split themes in the courts eyes.

DON'T leave the state until you go to court! I wouldn't leave even if the father says you have permission because here's what could happen you leave then the father calls the police saying you kidd napped his son, when the cops find you who do you think they will believe, you or him?

Talk to a lawyer first ,I have seen and heard of stories and your best bet is to talk to a lawyer first .

I would say since he pays child support you are not aloud to leave state without his permission.Yes you should take it to court before you up and leave because the father may be able to get you in trouble and say you kid napped him.Or you could talk to his father about it and see what he says about it.
