    My pregnant girlfriend is moving to another state(my kid) how can exercise my rights
    My pregnant girlfriend is moving to another state (AL), we already have one child which she gave me custody of. She is unstable and emotionaly detached from this child. She also has two other children that her mother has taken custody of for abandonment. Is there anything I can do to get my child from her. Since there are no custody papers on this child can I take the child from her or do I have to prove paternity first?

    When you say gave me custody of... was that through a court and it was ordered by the court that you received full custody ?

    What state are you in now ?

    You NEED to contact a local Family Attorney. Generally, you can't get custody until the child is born. But you may be able to stop her from moving until the child is born so you can file for custody.

    I do have to wonder why you have continued to have sex with an emotionally unstable woman?

    Has an attorney told you this? While its probably true that you have no rights until the child is born, you may have some rights to force the mother to have the child locally.

    However, if it is true that you can't do anything until the child is born. Then you will have to file in the state where she moves to as soon as the child is born.
