Legal Question in Family Law in California

child custody

My son was born 2/8/03 and I married his father on 10/17/03. My sons father is from the Bahamas and became legal here through our marriage. I have not lived in the same house or been in a relationship with him in almost 4 years, but we are still married. He has had minimal contact with our son and has never offered any financial support. Our son has always lived with me but I have no court orders. I recently moved from CA to GA without notifying him. He has now served me w-divorce papers & request for joint custody in CA. I want to know if I will have to take my son back to CA since I did not get permission to move. My sons father has also threatened to take my son back to the Bahamas and not bring him back & I do not have parental rights in the Bahamas. I would never see my child again. Is this reason enough to ask for sole custody with only supervised visitation with his father? Thank you!

Re: child custody

You should not have taken him out of California. Any how...because he was never a part of your son's life you have a good argument. If the case is in the Los Angeles area, I can help you.
