Q: Any laws in MO against moving to another state with your child before paternity is established?
He got an online DNA test kit after I moved from Missouri to Illinois, and he found out she is his after I moved to Illinois. He still doesn't know I moved, and hes been making threats to try and take me to court to get full custody of her. The courts have no reason to Grant him full custody, but I was wondering if when he goes to open a custody case with me in Missouri and he finds out I am no longer a resident there, if there is anything he can do after. Online DNA kits are not accepted in court, so he would have to open a case in the first place with me for them to give him a court acceptable paternity test anyway. I was just curious on what legal rights he will have with trying to open a custody case from another state, with no court admissible paternity proof yet.
A: You will need to post this in the MO and IL forums.
