domestic abuse

I have a husband who abuses me and I have a child by him but he is not on the birth certificate. Can I leave the state with my son? And can he come after him?

Re: domestic abuse

Your question proposes multiple issues that cannot be dealt within the scope of this forum. The first step that you should consider is obtaining an order against your husband that forbids him from coming near you. This can be accomplished in court within a fairly short period of time. You really should employ an attorney to represent your interests; however, if you cannot afford one, contact Atlanta Legal Aid for guidance on how to proceed.

I would strongly advise you to consult with a local attorney to discuss your rights, as well as how your local judges might rule in your case.
