Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

My husband and I have been married less than 1 year, we have a 9 month old daughter, whom has special medical needs. I (the mother) am from Texas, my family and support system is there. My husband and his family are from Indiana, where we are currently residing. My husband has supported the family (my daughter and I) on his income, he is a self employed insurance agent. I just started working at a day care part time one month ago. We are talking about separating then divorcing, and I would like to go back to Texas with my daughter. I am also a breast feeding mother and practice attachment parenting. I would just like to know what rights my husband is entitled to and what I am entitled to, and if I am allowed to leave with my daughter to go back to my home and family, or if I am required to stay in the state of Indiana due to my husband (the father) living here.

Thank you!

You need to sit down with an attorney and talk. Your case raises so many issues that can simply not be dealt with by a simple answer in a forum like this. It is possible that you my be prevented from changing your daughter's residence to Texas, so this is important enough to discuss with a family law attorney in your community.
