Legal Question in Family Law in California

legal to leave the state/ houseboat

My boyfriend and father of our child is

demanding more rent and financial

support that I can provide.

He says if I don't agree to his terms

he will file for sole or joint custody

of our child. Presently I am now

locked out of his house and do not

have an address. My 'home' was/is a

houseboat. Great for a single person,

not so for mom and babe.

I can't sell it now for many varied

reasons. My credit is terrible, so it will

be difficult to get an apt.

My out of state parents want me

and my child to come live with them.

Can I do that?

Before you move you should consult with an attorney about the facts of your case. Under some circumstances you can be ordered to return the child to California. Also it will not look good in court if you leave the state and are ordered to return the child.
