Monroe, MI asked in Family Law for Michigan

Q: If the father of my child has had nothing to do with my child and the child was born in michigan can I legally move?

My child is 15 months old and the father has never been there at all.. well now that his mother is upset that we moved she is forcing him to fight for visitation rights... now that I have moved 250 miles away can he legally force me to move back closer to him? Or since he hasn't been part of the child's life can I continue my life away from him and he still have his rights?

A: It sounds like there has been no court action or involvement regarding child support, custody or parenting time.

If that is the case, then you are under no obligation to seek his or the court's permission to move.
