What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
Hello. I am an unwed mother, currently trying to be civil with my 5mo baby's father by sharing time with him, even though I really don't want to. He is high all of the time and leaves our child with people who are just like him in that way. Even so, I got a job offer in California and would like to pursue it, bringing my baby as I believe it will mean a better life for me and my baby. I am in no way doing this just to get away from him, though it may seem that way. There is no court order, and my understanding is that in Michigan I am custodial parent and also understand I can't just leave without his permission. He's sort of an angry person and I fear the thought of telling him this without some backup. Any thoughts would be very appreciated.
Thanks!
