I am New to SFV

Hello everyone. I am new here, but I you probable have gathered that much so far.. lol.

Anyway, I just have a few questions.

I live in Delaware the father lives in North Carolina. Whne I was preggo, we split up.

I don't want him to be able to take my son out of state, he is only 2 months old. Besides that, he doesn't have time for the baby he works constantly.
He doesn't know him and I will not put my son through being with someone he does not know, he doesn't even like being left with his grandparents, and he knows them well.


He hasn't made an effort to see his son, at all. I went to NC in march to see some friends of mine, and if I didn't go I don't know when he would have seen him. While I was there he showed NO responcibilty (as far as caring for him). and wouldn't hold him longer than 15 minutes even when he was calm.

ANyway, I want to stop out of state visitation especially due to the fact that we live 9 hours apart.

What rights do I have?

I am planning on going to a lawyer, I just want to know if anyone has any experience or suggestions for this situation.

Thanks!

when I had my son I was beastfeeding so the father could not take him out of state. have him come to you!!!! work with him as hard as it may be but in the long run it helps you and makes you a better person. I told my sons father that he could see him when ever he wanted to but because I was beastfeeding he needed to come and see the baby were we lived. 8 month later he came. it all worked out fine, just be open and let him know that you'll let him see the baby but it needs to be at your home.

I don't think that the courts should ever allow an infant to be taken out of state away from the mom...Not even a todler.

Good Luck!

i dont understand the mentality, a father has the worste part of the split, we get to see our kids 2-3 days every other week.women wonder why we pull away, i tried to see my kids and the new family she has i was in the way, a bad reminder, women get to see all the great moments in their lives, we get chuckie cheese and friendly's on a weekend, if our job requires we work more or someone else will we have to choose, if we choose our family time and loose our job, we go to jail for child support, i lost my proffesional license thanks to child support, i cant see my kids and all i wanted is to be a good dad

Wow, I'm sorry I missed your post this morning. Welcome to the site. You may want to look for more recent posts to respond to, as the people you answered in this thread haven't been on in over 2 years (you can see the date they posted to the right of their name). You may want to put up a new post as an introduction.

I can truly sympathize with your situation. As hard as it has been raising my son alone, I have no idea how I could have coped as a non-custodial parent. There are other parents on here who do not have their kids for much of the time; they may be able to help you through this situation.

Welcome to the site.

Later,
Bobby
