:confused: Can I move out of the state of California if no costody has been granted to either parent and the child has resided with me since birth?

Hello mr.

If the father is involved (assuming you're the mother), he can stop you. And, he should. Your child deserved BOTH parents.

I understand that the child needs both parents. I have always made sure she has spent time with her Father, without her father pursuing his daughter on his own and being far and few visits. Along with not paying regular or much support. On top of all of that, he considers himself to be "babysitting" her, how can a Father "babysit" his own child? I just want to know if it is against the law for me to move out of state... niether parent has been to a court for custody.

Just as easy as the other parent could come and take the child back or come and take the child and move somewhere else.

With no custody agreement both of you have legal custody, you have physcial at this time.

If the other party objects, they can file in court for custody and to try and stop the move, You need to clear up the custody issue, so it does not become a serious issue latter. Also you need to arrange child support from the other parent

Thank you Fr_Chuck... that's the advice that I needed.

If nothing's been established in a court order, then the answer is yes, but be prepared that the other parent may try to hinder you by challenging the move in court.
