Need some Answers

Dear emDean:

Greetings. I do not know Pennsylvania law, so I cannot advise you on what he can or cannot do, as when the baby is born Pennsylvania law will control the matter. Until the baby is born though, you can move anywhere you want and he cannot stop you (ie. stop the baby) from moving. If you have the baby in NC and you are living here then, I doubt he could make the baby move back to Pennsylvania.

Yes, you could still get child support from him by filing here in NC and they will garnish his wages where ever he is in the U.S.

Good luck.
