Does anyone have information about rights of parents who are not married? I am considering leaving my relationship and would move out of state,prior to any formal legal documents.

If you are not married custody isn't really established. Get an attorney and ask about laws in your state.

The party with the danglers has no rights. Expect to be sued for 25% (for one kid) of your earnings or even earning potential (yes, they will assess you for money you never earned if you lose your job!) plus daycare plus medical insurance plus backpay plus interest (if there is backpay they will also ruin your credit rating) for the next 18 or 19 years, depending on the kids' birthdate. Don't lose your job or they will put the full force of many federal and state agencies into punishing you for that by taking your driver's license and/or any professional licenses you might have, and the IRS will confiscate any tax rebates you would have had coming. Oh, and you, the one with the danglers, no longer has any rights regarding the child. Just like any common criminal, you have to make arrangements for visitation, and if you think you are going to participate or monitor your child's progress by having access to school or medical records, think again. You are now simply a human wallet. Now, with all that encouragement and helpful interference, go and be a model father, buddy!
There are state-to-state variations on this general theme of sadistic punishment for 1/2 of the parental units. Visit the Department of Human "Services" website for your state.

You'd better contact a lawyer. You may not be able to move out of state if you have a child. The other partner has a say as to whether they will allow you to take the child out of state or not. That law doesn't just pertain to marrieds

I'll tell you one thing the way DNA testing is these days, and the way the legal system is going after parents of either sex you'd better move to mars because your child is your legal responsibility!!! GOOD!!

Both parents have rights. You would do best to file for custody, court ordered child support and reasonable visitation.

Contact a Lawyer but I think you need consent from other paren to move out of state.

It would help if we knew you are in the situation (mom or dad?) and rather or not paternity has been legally established.
