He can move out of the home, and take the child, so long has he tells you where he is going and allows you access to your child. Until an agreement or court order is in place, you have equal rights to your son.
You must be living separate and apart in order for an agreement to be valid, but may sign an agreement just prior to one of you moving out.
If he is not paying the bills, you should seek and order for divorce from bed and board based on his failure to support you, seek possession of the home, temporary support, insurance, and temporary custody.
It is not necessary to take pictures of him working.
. what type of costs am I looking at for this ? This is litigation correct ?
I am broke credit is shot and I am paying all of the bills .
Can I sue for custody and support while we are still in same house to prevent him fleeing ?
Yes, an action for divorce from bed and board is litigation. The costs for litigation depend on a multitude of factors, including the complexity of the case, and if and when the case settles at some point before hearings on all issues are set. You may be entitled to seek an award of attorney’s fees for certain issues from your spouse, depending on your individual circumstances.
You cannot sue for custody while you are still living with the children’s father.
can you get a court order for custody prior to spouse moving out and can judge rule for parent to move out in a custody case ?
I am afraid he will take child and move out and cant believe I cant start any action now while in same house >
Custody actions cannot be commenced prior to one party moving out. The court cannot order a parent to move out of the home in a custody action.
