it's not his decision. if there are no custody papers then there is nothing he can do about it unless he wants to go get them. i think. but that is the way it should be. this is why i left my kid's father off the birth certificate. he has no rights. as he should. he's a lowlife.

Your best bet for a correct answer would be to get a free consultation from a family lawyer. most lawyers will give a free 10-15 min consult (even over the phone). your question could be answered within minutes....
I would think that the father doesn't have a leg to stand on.... but, is it wise to take your child away from its father? Children need the love from 2 parents even tho they may no longer be together. The 2 of you will always be the parents, its very important to get along and not put the child in the middle of disagreements between the 2 of you. I have a feeling that the father doesn't want you to take his child out of state....think about what your child needs to feel secure, safe and loved(by both of you)....

He has the burden of proof since there are no papers. But if he tries to get papers he'll have to pay child support, court costs, paternity testing fees, back child support, reemburse birthing cost. Most men are scared when threatened w/ that. And to top it off, how many judges will actually give the man what he wants custody/placement/visitation wise when he didn't willingly step up to the plate in the beginning! I don't think you have much to worry about.

Yes, you should be able to leave the state.
IF there are no papers or no court orders.
You could contact a lawyer to make sure first...all states are different, regarding this type of thing, but most generally the same on this subject...
Wishin you the best...

Yes you can, you are the mother and you have to ensure that whatever you do, is for the best interest to you and your child. It is also good to check with an attorney, because many states have different policies regarding this issue, but overall , you have to do whatever you have to , to provide the best quality of life for your child.

first of all i am not a lawyer ,but it would seem unless there is a court order giving him custody no . but you should quietly see a lawyer first to make sure. if you dont have the money try legal aid in your state.

He needs to agree to you taking her out of state or it will be kidnapping... take him back to court and talk to an attorney about this as well so they can help you with this.

If you don't inform him of your move, it could seen as kidnapping. Ask an attorney for assistance in this matter.
