North Carolina
I have physical custody of my child but cannot obtain legal custody due to the costs of an attorney . My husband and I do not live together and have been seperated (not legally) since August of last year. He is on the birth certificate. He has a good job on a military base and makes good money there but refususes to pay child support until the order is in place and is just very upset that I have to file for child support at all. He doesnt think I should. I am currently living with my parents. I had a job but I had to quit because I do not have a liscense and I couldnt afford childcare on the amount of money I was making. I am currently a student in an online college and I am searching for a better job and plan to obtain help from the local social services for childcare. I am just wondering if I were to want to move to another state would my husband be able to fight me for custody of our son and win? Would they think his job makes him a better choice of parent? Could I lose my child because he has a better job? I plan to get a job soon but it wont be as well paying as his job for sure. He got lucky and knew some people and got a good job. I am in college and am working towards getting a good job but it is going to take me awhile to finish school. He says he wont take him away as long as I stay in this state but he isnt helping me with money and he only takes him every other weekend. I want to move out of this state and away from the area completely. I have told him that if I do move that it will not be with a man and that he will have definite visitation. I offered to let him have the baby once a month and that I would meet halfway to trade off. He refuses and says that if he even thinks that I am leaving then he will take the baby away and that he will win because he has a better job and a car and a liscense. I am afraid to drive so I ever got my liscense or a car. I dont kow if I ever will. My children are healthy and well taken care of.
