Q: Am I able to take my son back to Cali with me
We’re not married, no custody order in place, he has bad anger issues and will scream and slam doors etc, right in front of our son. And I’ve had enough but all my support and family is in California.
A:
As long as there are currently no court orders in place requiring the child to remain in Texas, you are able to travel/move with your child as you determine is in the child's best interest.
If there is domestic or family violence in the situation, you should consider putting a protective order in place to protect you, and your child, if necessary.
I hope this information helps. Good luck to you.
A: If there are no court orders you are free to move. He may file a petition in court and try to order you to move back. Contact a lawyer in California and find out the waiting period to file a suit in California..
