Generally, no. If the mother has full legal and physical custody of that child she can move with that child unless the father has visitation rights. She must comply with the custody and visitation schedule set by the court with jurisdiction.

whoever has physical custody of the child makes all the rules but if the father follows you and takes the child from daycare or from the grocery store there is nothing you can do either. it is best to get a custody agreement drawn up to avoid any problems in the future.

Yes, she can. He must establish his paternity as outlined above and then can petition the court for a visitation order and joint custody. The court will set up a visitation order and consider the petition for joint custody. He would need to provide compelling evidence that the mother is unfit in order to gain full physical custody.

The answer to this kind of question depends on the details such as the marital status of the parties, whether there is a current custody order and/or visitation order and whether the father has any parental rights. If he has no parental rights then the mother can move. Otherwise she must get legal advice from a professional who has reviewed all the pertinent details of the situation.

That depends on state law where you live (or country if you live outside of the US). Some states allow the custodial parent to move freely, other states may require written permission from the non-custodial parent and/or a court order. You would need to provide the state where you live for a specific answer.

An unmarried mother has sole custody of her own child until the father takes the necessary steps to establish his paternity. Once paternity is established he can request joint custody, obtain a visitation schedule and a child support order can be entered.
If the father never established paternity the mother does not need his permission to move. However, the father could stop her moving by filing a motion in the family court to establish his rights.

Laws vary in different jurisdictions. You should consult an attorney who specializes in custody issues who can review your situation and explain your rights and options.

If you have never been married to the father and there is no court order about custody, then you can move out and take your child with you. It is legal to do that. You do not need court permission to move out with your child.But the father can file a paternity case at any time, and then try to get custody and visitation. If the father has been involved with your child and then you take your child away so he cannot see the child, the judge may sympathize with the father. This is a time when the father of your child might take you to court.If you are planning or trying to move to another state with your child the law becomes much more complicated, and you should consult a ddivorce attorney. Your attorney will most likely advice you to:

  • to tell the father that you are leaving
  • it can be hard to take part in a case when you have moved far away
  • you need to get a court order that lets you leave the state.
You can also contact a local legal service organization in your area to see if you can get free legal help. If you are unable to find legal help free of charge there are many successful private divorce attorneys offering free legal consultations and that work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don't have to pay them until they successful handle your case.

There would be nothing to stop her. It will make it more difficult for her to get child support if she wants to apply for it. It is usually helpful to be in the same state as the father.

Does a 16 year old mother have to get the father's permission to move out of state with the baby if she is moving with her parents?

That will depend on whether paternity has been established. If the mother is not married at, or within 300 day of the birth of the child, there is no legal father unless through the court. In that case, no one's permission is needed, however the father may bring suit himself. Under those circumstances, many courts will see allowing the move is in the best interest of the child. If there already is a court order in place, you need the court's permission, not the father's permission for the move.
