Can the Mother of My Child Leave the State Without Notifying Me

How about until she's declared an unfit parent....

get off of that. You'll be lucky to get unsupervised visitation. Riddle me this. While you were off abusing her, where was the baby?

Even then, there's no guarantee HE'd be first in line.

He's a toddler (almost 3). He was in the home with us, and when the cops showed up I was holding him.

The police report conflicts, and my statements and the cops "interpretation" make it sound like she was holding him and there was a struggle between me and her. That's not exactly what happened. I did want to bring him to our room and cool off, which I eventually did, and then she followed up with banging the door which I was trying to barricade, because I just wanted everything to calm down. Her antics after the quick altercation are likely what got the attention of the neighbor, who is also unfortunately an enemy.

I am beginning to think the timing of my family law attorney may be too far off. Definitely need the paternity and jurisdiction establishment, but if a custody hearing happens anytime this year (before any charges are dropped), it seems like it would go nowhere for me. Then, as another member said, getting custody changed will be even more difficult.

I asked the attorney more than once about just doing the paternity papers for now, and just like the criminal attorney, he insisted on a "flat rate" to do it all. I'm going to have to ask him about this again. I already have very likely lost money on my criminal attorney. He sold me on a possible result if my ex didn't go down and do what she did with the state's attorney. Turns out when that happens, there is very little an attorney can actually do to effect any sort of "good" DPA.

Is it possible that we could come to any mutual agreement on custody , IF my ex someday decides she wants to do that, instead of fighting about it in court?

This is starting to sound very, very familiar as if we've heard this story before but from a different perspective.
