I have been married for 8 years and we have been together for 12, iam to the point that i can not stand to be around my husband, he is selfish and very controling - i have 1 child and i keep thinking that i am taking my son away from his father and how unfair it is to my son. Yet i walk around like a zombi, i exist thats all, i feel numb - i have made some friends and want to go to Australia to visit but i dont want to tell my husband, as of yet we are not divorced or seperated but i dont want him coming along. Is there anything in the NY law that says i am abandoning my son if i took a vacation with out the husband knowing?

I would be really careful there.....that COULD be misconstrued as "abandonment" if you're not careful. My advice is if you're going to Australia, get the divorce first, then go. Leave your son with responsible people, of course, which I know you will. I would definitely get the divorce first , to eliminate any questions.

I don't think its called abandoning...if you come back from that vacation. Just to be on the safe side though...I would tell a close family member or friend that your going...How old is your son? You should probably tell him if he is old enough to understand. I would tell someone...that way when you leave they don't put out a missing persons on you and if you plan to divorce later on it could really hurt your chances of getting custody of your son if it showed you ran off for a long period of time. It ruins your character as a good mother.
I love Australia as mcuh as the next person...but my advice...stay home get marriage counseling or a divorce...and be there for your kid.

Abandonment is when you leave the child without someone to care for him properly. If you take a trip, and leave the child with the Father, this is not abandonment. Granted, he will not be happy not knowing about it, you would not have broken any laws.
Australia is really nice, very laid back, and a place I hope to get back to someday. I went there when I was in the Corps, and if there is one place you can relax and clear your mind, it is there.

confident and as quickly as that is rebuilt it is going to likely be more desirable than it replaced into earlier. The memory of having by using undesirable cases will join your shared history and convey you closer interior the top.
