Mother and Child moved out of state without Father knowing

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
MA

I am not sure if this is the correct Forum, but we are in desperate need of help!!

My boyfriend and I live in Massachusetts and we recently found out that the mother of his 2 year old daughter up and moved to Florida with out him knowing. He pays child support weekly and provides health insurance for his daughter. He does not have visitation per the mother NOT THE COURTS. What rights does he have?? Does this fall under kidnapping??

We need help!!

Thank you.

No, it does not fall under kidnapping. Nor do "we" need help. HE may need help, but you do not. Not with someone else's legal issues.

Please have Dad register and post himself. He will know the answers to the questions we'll have. And at the end of the day? This is HIS issue to deal with. If he can't do it without you? He's not that bothered.

Well if there are no court orders for visitation then mom did not have to give notice and could move. If dad had cared he would have gotten court ordered visitation so he had enforceable rights. Apparently he does not.

Feel free to ask for a refund on your way out.

However, unless there is a court order for visitation and it also requires Mom to notify Dad when she moves, then she's not violating any law.

Dad of course has the right to pursue visitaiton and if he would like access to his child, then he would need to take the steps necessary to gain it.
