Asked in AZ May 19, 2022 ,  0 answers
My sister had a baby with a man in AZ. She has been trying to work on the relationship for a year and a half now. She wants to leave and come live with me in KY. They are not married but his name is on the birth ceritificate and he said that she cant leave un less he says she can go. He is verbally abusive to her and her son. Can he have that much control over her? All I need to know is what we can legally do because I do not want her to get in trouble but she has a job and everything waiting for her up here so she will be able to take care of the baby. I just need advise. Thank you.

The key point here is that there is no court order in place regarding child custody, at least from what you are saying. So that means the mother has the right to leave with the child and go wherever she desires. Once an establishment order is in effect, then that triggers relocation statutes requiring 60-day written notice to the other parent, his right to request a hearing, etc. I would highly suggest she consult with an experienced family law attorney to better understand her rights and responsibilities and options. Best of luck to you all!
