What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Wife moved 450 miles away, same state, left me and my 8 year old son, to find "True Love." She was a stay at home Mom for 7 years. She was making about 40k a year before. I am now making about 75k a year.
She left at the end of December for 2 weeks and came back for a month and has been up there since. She met a man 2 weeks after being up there the second time and that is her new life. She has been staying with her Aunt and Uncle up there. They told her she has 3 weeks to move out and find a place to live as she is a 33 year old woman. I am 37. We were married for almost 9 years. Nothing has been filed yet. She now has a job at a vets office making 1600 a month.
So here are my questions. If nothing is filed will the date that she left be used or will the filing date? I know the 10 year mark is important. She doesn't want our son because she doesn't want to take him away from me. Yeah right. She had him for a couple of days but tried to meet earlier because it cramped her new life with the guy. We agreed that our son would not meet any significant others. I think the fact that she moved 450 miles away would automatically give me custody. I am a good father and all our family and friends are here. She says that she doesn't want anything from me except to pay her car payment of 410 per month.
Would I be subject to pay alimony and/or child support in this scenario. Is it wrong for me to wait. She has been honest to this point. She is just really messed up.
Thanks...

CA has some self-help centers in the county courthouses, call and find out if yours does. If not, go to the next county.
