    Default Re: Pregnant Girlfriend Left North Carolina to Give Birth in Florida

    Thanks for this. I've read a few of the links you provided in the past few months. The problem is that long distance time-sharing plans are very vague and leave a plethora of room for interpretation. In addition, I am dealing with a very unreasonable Mother/family.

    Does anyone on here have a view on how a judge could interpret this? Surely, he would look down upon her leaving NC for Florida but I guess that has no bearing on custody/name/support?

    I left that job to go to business school and I decided not to when I found out she was pregnant so i could support what I thought to be was going to be our family. There are records of prep courses for the GMAT. Also applications that were filled out but never submitted.

    The child in 7 months old on March 13th. What legal precedent is there for them to impute income when I left the job before I met her? Any legal precedent on a name change? Hyphenation in the last name at the least?

    There is a history of domestic abuse between the mother and an ex-bf but I take it that is all hearsay in court?
    Hearsay or not, the bolded is completely irrelevant.

    I've retained a attorney to match hers. (high powered - named howard rudolph)

    Thanks for all your advice. I'm big on consensus opinions and really would like to hear everyone's insight. I want to support my child at any and all costs but feel like a name change (at least hyphenation) should be reasonable.

    She named our baby "Live Grace" as a first name. Unbeknownst to me she had a an abortion before we were dating which, obviously, I've found out about. In the realm of the "best interest of the child" wouldn't you think a judge would mandate a full name change?

    Perhaps, I've given away too much personal information. If so, apologies in advance but I need advice.
    The previous abortion is completely irrelevant...are you asking if a judge will change the child's first name?

    The bolded is also irrelevant at this point.

    Dad, what is important at this point is establishing your rights going forward and fair child support. To be honest, what mom has offered you in terms of parenting time is probably more than a judge would give you to start off with. Long distance plans vary a great deal based on the best interest of any given child.

    However the norm for school aged children is every other Thanksgiving, half of Christmas break and every or every other Spring Break, and anywhere from 1/2 to 3/4ths of the summer. A once a month weekend sometimes gets added to the mix for parents who can afford that extra travel. The norm for younger children is that visitation starts out in the child's home community...and then varies greatly until the child is of school age.
