If he has physically abused you, then yes, I think it is just fine to move away. He might not be a safe person around a child either if he has shown a temper and anger management problems. If you were to stay, I'd ask you to give your history of abuse to the court so that visitation was supervised. I think moving away would be a smart thing to do at this point. good luck
Get your child support legal orders together before you go, and be clear with everyone involved that you will be out of state, so he cannot use it later as an excuse not to pay up.
Agree with both the above posters; absolutely.
I heard that you couldn't file for child support until the baby is born.
Talk to an attorney or someone at a legal aid clinic, so you do the right thing all the way. Don't go with what you "heard," get your information from a legally trained person who knows. You might have to come back into the state to do your court filings if that is true. Talk to someone in your location who is either a lawyer or a paralegal that does this kind of work. A lot of Legal Aid clinics do boatloads of divorce and child support stuff, because that is one of the biggest problems people have that they need legal help for.
Make sure you record a history of his abuse as well. Any pictures?? Anything like that is good to keep record of what has happened good luck dear but you MUST protect yourself and your baby and this man is unsafe. I read the other post about his abuse and he is dangerous. Peace and good luck
Yes, key words are "documentation" and "seeking legal advice" as the two posters have stated.
Get yourself prepared now and be ahead of anything he may try to pull.
All the best.
Go make a life for yourself and your baby?
