    Default Moving Out and Moving Back in

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: California

    Parents of the kid (now 1 year old) never married. Parents lived together for totally about two years before the baby was born. Mother and baby moved out to her sister's when the baby was four months.

    Father is a contractor. Cash income, jobs on and off. Mother has a part time job. Mother's sister babysits the baby while mother goes to work.

    Father's name on birth cert. No any court filing or orders yet. Now mother wants to move back with the baby (not for getting back with the father). Mother said it's for the best interest of the kid to have both parents in kid's life.

    What are the pros and cons of such move to parents LEGALLY if a custoday case is inevitable in the future? Thank you for your help.

    We have no way of knowing. We have no information about how these people will parent, and have no way of assessing how the various unknown facts of the case will affect hypothetical future custody litigation.

    I see. Thank you so much, Mr. Knowitall. I guess I was thinking too much. No wonder no one replied my post.

    The only benefit is that the child will have two parents in her daily life -- if they can get along. It also will allow the dad, who hasn't been the primary parent, to have a chance to do a lot more of the parenting (changing diapers, feeding, reading bedtime stories, etc).

    It could be a win-win for the child and the parents.

    Father's concern is that mother might move out with the baby again. It's a big family living together, many family members with complications.

    Mother's concern is that baby might not be able to move away with her in case anything happens again this time.

    Both parents love the kid very much. If it's just a father-mother-kid household, it would be much easier.

    Frankly no - legally, it's a father-mother-kid household and that's really all that matters.

    The other family members are likely legally irrelevant unless there is a threat to the child.
