My question involves a child custody case from the State of: New York
I am 4 months pregnant and my live-in ex-boyfriend and baby's father have broken up or rather he left - we do not get along at all and have ended on very bad terms.
He has already threatened me that he will do everything in his power to take the baby away from me, etc. So, I want to prepare and know what to expect as I have no clue really.
I have the option to move to Arizona - is it better to move out of state before or after the birth? When I mentioned this to him, he said he can order me by law to stay in New York since I'm pregnant with his child. Is this true? What about after the child is born?
Also, what can I expect custody to look like? I always hear the mother usually gets more custody. Will he only be granted every other weekend? What if I live in Arizona and he in New York? How much child support is usually granted?
Lastly, if I remarry and my future husband wants to adopt the child, will the bio dad first have to give up his rights or can it still be done?
All my ducks are in row - I have a good, steady job, no criminal records, college grad, etc.
