Do you have custody set up for your daughter? What about child support? Because you are her mother you should be able to take your child, but he can petition for custody and visitation... in which case YOU can petition for child support.

Also, you say you live with him. Will you be able to take care of her on your own? Will there be someone there to help you?

Your best bet is to call the police and ask them. They'll be able to tell you what the laws of your state say and whether you have the right to take your child across state lines without her father's consent. They'll probably ask you a few questions so be honest with them.

Good luck.

he does know and he jus gave me a time limit to leave haha this is so funny but i couldt be more happyer! he told me he would pay my way to leave but i dont trust him at all... he said i could leave with her but he wont put it iin writting... there would be someone to help me when i move also.. he's not much help anyway. my family had to give me money to wash my cloths and her things to so hes not really takin care of wha he clams is his... i dont have custody set up and he doesnt want to pay child suport. ( can u believe tha?! ) ut he dose want to see her.. ((i think ))

Your child deserves monetary support. You're going to need help buying her food, clothes, diapers, and paying for the roof over her head, the water you bathe her with, the vehicle you drive her around in (and the gas in the tank), her doctor visits and diapers... I could go on and on.

Child support isn't something he can just wave away like it doesn't matter. Your daughter NEEDS support, and the state WILL force him to pay money to you for her care. Don't let him get away with not paying. Petition for support. Do it for your daughter. Don't decide not to - your daughter deserves to be supported.

If he still doesn't pay after he's ordered to, the police will put him in jail.

i know all about it. my real mom had 9 kis me so its 10.. i'm adopted though but i know what i need to take care of my baby. and i have tha support from my famly and friends. and i am going to have a job when i move. but if i do file for child support and he wants to see her wouldnt i have to be in the same state??
