Question:

My fiancée and I have had a son together and he carries my last name. Now, she wants to leave me and go out of state to live with her friends, taking our son with her. I work fulltime and she has not had a job for over a year now. What rights do I have as a father to get custody or to keep her from jumping state with our son? I have family in the area that is willing to help me take care of him and raise him.  I’m afraid that all she has are her online friends which makes me a nervous.

Question:

My ex wants to take my 3 yr old daughter out of the state for spring break. I want to know if I have any say in this decision because I really don't think I'll ever see her again.

This is a never ending battle with her always trying to change our custody order or wanting to take her out of the state for weeks at a time.  Please, if you can, help.

Question:

I recently tried to pick my boys up from daycare for my standard visitation, like I always do. When I got there the daycare told me they were not releasing my children to me because my ex told the daycare not to.

Luckily I had my decree with me and immediately called the police, after 2.5 hours the police finally went inside the daycare and brought my children to me.

Can the daycare override my judge signed decree that states my visitation rights.

Question:

I have been with my girlfriend for about 4 1/2 years now. We have never been married and just had a daughter 4 months ago.

I am wondering what are my chances of me getting custody or at least be able to see my daughter 3 - 4 days a week. I would love to have full custody but not too sure what my chances on that would be. She does not work and has not paid any of the bills or anything in over 5 months.

I am the sole provider in this house. What should I do?
