Question

My boyfriend and I have been together for about five years, we have a two year old son together. We have never been married, he signed an AOP in the hospital and is on our son's birth certificate. He has become increasingly more emotionally abusive and possessive since the birth of our son. Do I have the right to take our son and leave him? What rights do I have as the mother and primary care-giver? Would he need to file for rights before I have to let him see our son?



Answer

You need to have a personal consultation with a family law attorney. Look on this website and on www.avvo.com.

You have the right to take the child. If he takes the child and won't return him, then I don't know if the police would assist you. Normally what I hear is that the police say it is a civil matter and you need to go to court.

If there are no court orders in place then you are not in contempt of any court order regarding letting him see the child.
