My 5 year old son lives with me and I'm not married to his mother. No one has legal custody. I want to move to Texas and take my son with me...can she stop me from taking him out of Oregon and moving to Texas?
She could if she wanted to. At which point you would have to hire a lawyer and go to court. Try talking to her first she might not contest it. If she does then you will have a legal fight on your hands.
She would definitely contest it....but if i just took him without telling her would she be able to get him back? Just a lil background about her...I left her because she was to self centered to be a mom and just wanted to party all the time. He doesn't even know that's his REAL mom, my current girlfriend of 5 years has been his mom since he was 8months.
You could do that. And then the ball would be in her court if she wanted him back she would have to hire a lawyer and track you down and then take you to court if she could find you and had the money to. Which could take years. I read your response that she is too imature to be a Mom right now but time may change things. I wish you luck but more so your son. People have children without even thinking of the consequences. And I might make you angry saying this but it was imaturity on your part too to Father a child with a woman who was imature too. Now the child is the one that is going to pay. So shoot me. It's the truth
Yes I'm aware that it was imature...but i my son will not pay for anything because he has a mother and we have 2 other children together. She is just a friend that visits to him....nothing more. Also, just to let you know she was not like that before she had the baby, nor during her pregnancy...guess after 8 months she just felt trapped. But i have made a good life for my son and he and his brothers are MORE than happy. Thanks for you input though
I am sure they are happy and I am not putting you down for doing the right thing by your children. I just think it is sad that the child may never know his real Mother or her family or any medical history they might share. He may never know his Grandparents and they may never know him and that is a tragedy. Sorry he will pay no matter what you say. Best of luck to you and thanks for being the one parent he can depend on and thanks to your girlfriend for loving him as her own.
