What is the name of your state? Kentucky, but child and soon-to-be ex husband are in Alabama.
Okay, I'm the mother of a nearly two month old little boy. His father and I, my husband, have decided that we want a divorce. His father, while I was pregnant, and while I was sleeping in a waiting room of a hospital while our son was in the natal ICU, decided he was going to be unfaithful and sleep with other women. He has also gotten violent with me in the past. Before you ask, no I did not report it to the police, as there were no real bruises to be shown, nor was it extreme violence (i.e. I was not beaten, though he did hit me once or twice, nor was I threatened with a weapon.), and so I did not feel I needed to report it.
In deciding I wanted a divorce, I also decided that I wanted to move to Louisville, Kentucky, to make a better life for me and my son. My husband made me believe that if I left the state with our son, he would call the police and have me arrested on kidnapping charges. This is my first question. Could he have done that without a court order stating that I couldn't leave the state with our son?
He agreed that he would bring our son to me in July, no later than July 23rd. He also agreed not to try to get my rights revoked by claiming abandonment. I am worried that he just made those promises so that I would leave my son with him. The only other reason I left my son with him was so that I could find a job here, which I did within nine days of being in Louisville. I have also sent him $50, to assist in buying diapers, and getting gas, and other necessities. This was all I was able to send at the time, but I will be sending more. I do have documentation of sending the money.
So, my two questions are the following: Could my husband have gotten me arrested on kidnapping charges, without a court order stating that I couldn't leave the state with our son? And, can he get me on abandonment charges, when I am sending money back, have documentation of sending the money, and have my rights revoked from seeing my child?
