Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa
Today, my partner of 6 years told me to find a new place to live and that previous to our agreement, that he will not allow me to take out of state to be closer to my mom and allow me to get out of our dead end situation to make a better life for ourselves. I'm currently a dependent housewife without any money of my own, I'm in debt, and he made this promise to me in exchange of my forgiving an infidelity and bad treatment in the interest of keeping our family together for our daughter. He also promised to seek counseling, but has yet to do so a year later, and grabbed me in front of our daughter before telling me that he would beat me up. What can I do to get out of this situation? I just can't believe the situation I am in, and need to get out of this area and around family who is planning on assisting me to finish my degree so that we can provide a good life for our daughter. What can I do? Am I able to take her out of state without his permission? I need to get out of here, and unbeknownst to me prior to agreeing to moving closer to his family during our remaining year in return for his agreeing to move to the location that we've planned on, his siblings either live with us and use drugs or do meth, all the while being enabled by his father, while I've always been law-abiding and just want away from the stigma of his family's last name. Sorry for the long question. I felt that details were important when asking this question. Thank-you.

If there's no custody and support agreement in place your rights are as good as his. However that could trigger a civil action for custody and support that you would have to litigate at long distance.
