Lawyers aren't JUST for charming snakes - your b/f (NOT YOU)should get a lawyer, report the woman and go after his parental rights. What I am most worried about though is the 4-year- old's future life; truckin' across the country is NOT a life for a small child. He needs a stable family environment, not to mention a safer place to grow up than cooped up in the back of a truck. Good luck!

I suggest talking to a lawyer, and filing for at least joint custody. As long as your boyfriend is up to date on child support and can be a good provider, there really is no reason that he should not, at the very least, be able to get joint custody of his son.
I would do this as soon as possible because his son is soon going to need a stable environment being that he will be starting school soon and that is a big change in a childs life. He should be able to have as stable a home as possible.
A lawyer is your best bet, and will tell you what the chances are of getting joint or full custody. Good luck.

Speaking from firsthand experience, I can say that....
(1)Whether he pays the child support or not he IS entitled to see his son. Paying the support, as I did, only enhances his privileges and will cause the court to look more favorably on his actions. (2)As long as there is no court order prohibiting her from traveling anywhere w/o the father's permission and as long as it cannot be shown that she is (a) an unfit mother and (b) endangering the child's welfare, she can legally go to the northeast corner of the moon and there is little he can argue. Again, however, if the child support order gave him visitation rights, he can challenge on that basis. Also, go back to court and get a restraining order that prohibits her from traveling anywhere w/the boy w/o his father's permission.
The fact that you and your boyfriend have a house and make decent $ will mean little to the court in this day and age of the national hysteria of married families and live-in partners. Not suggesting you get married, but unless you can show to the court that the mother's lifestyle is and endangerment to the boy, you have very little to stand on.

Talk to a lawyer. You will definitely have the better argument since now he has no stable home or school. You should definitely persue this, you have a really good case.

Well, I don't think you really have much say in this situation.You are in no way related to this child. As far as your boyfriend is concerned, I would say that he sincerely and honestly has to look at what is best for the child. Not himself or the mother. Then, as his father, he has to do what he feels is best for the child.
