I am in a relationship with my son's father and I want to leave. It is a bad environment for my son and myself. Can I take my son with me when I go? What are my right on this situation?

Just moving to somewhere else in town ? Is he on the birth certificate ?

Yes if not moving out of state, and you file for custody with the courts and ask for child support as soon as you move.

He is on the birth certificat. No not out of the state, just out of the same house. Is filing for custody expensive? I have no clue where to start. And thank you.

Filing for custody may be expensive if he fights it. Or it could be very simple.

Yes, you can move out of the home you share and move with your son. You should plan this ahead of time, for example you need someplace to stay. On the day that you move or as close as possible (maybe the day before), you file for custody and child support.

Be prepared to agree to allowing visitation for the father unless you can prove he is a danger to the child.

I would suggest consulting with an attorney first.
