Re: Moving out of state
You can move out of state without any penalties so long as your court order does not prohibit you from moving out of state. Biological father can file papers for a modificatio of support payments, however it does not seem as if his reasons are valid and would justify such a change in circumstances.
Re: Moving out of state
Mr. Johnson is correct. Given the facts as you have outlined them, it seems unlikely the father will be awarded any custody given his instability. Again you should consult with a lawyer reviewing all the pertinent facts so you can be fully informed as to your options-Martin
Re: Moving out of state
You can move. Just give him notice of your intent to move and where you will be moving to. If he is a violent as you imply the child should not have visitation with father. In California child support is based on the gross, before taxes are deducted, and the amount of visitation. Oregon has its own procedure for determining support.
You should discuss you case with an attorney who can get all of the facts and fully advise you.
