I have never been married to my child's father but I did sign a paternity agreement and he is paying child support. My child is now 14 months old. There is no formal visitation or custody order in place.
He has been visiting the child about once a week for the past year but is now demanding that the child stay with him two times a week, overnight. I assume he is setting things up to file for custody.
If we end up in court, what are my chances of having a clause put in that will state that I am allowed to move away if I get into graduate school in another state? What are the chances of me being able to move if this actually does happen and no clause is in place? Does going to school hurt my chances for custody (make me a less fit parent)?
Is it possible for me to leave the state right now, before a custody order is in place? I have been wanting to move for some time. It would not be out of spite for the child's father.
