Q: Can i build a case for mom to move back to florida since she had my baby?
I got my ex girlfriend pregnant, she moved to Florida for less than a year to be with me, left when we broke up(months) back to Rhode Island and was pregnant. Can I build a case so she would have to move to Florida so i can be in my kids life? I am not on birth certificate
A: No, I really doubt that you could prevail on that one. If you want visitation with the child you will probably have to move to Florida or be prepared to travel here from time to time.
Bruce Alexander Minnick agrees with this answer
A:
Although you cannot make mom return, you can ask the court to order for the child to move here and for you to be the majority timesharing parent. This is not as easy as it sounds, but it is your best bet when compared to trying to get mom to move here. Unfortunately, you will need to seek this relief in the court in Rhode Island as that is where the child is located.
Good luck!
