Never married mom wants to move to another state

[ProfRN]

I am a professional woman who moved to Ohio to obtain my master's degree. I am pregnant and would like to be certain that when I graduate I can move to whatever state I choose with my child. Can you give me advice on what to do before the baby is born and what types of legal documents I need to have in place to protect my freedom to move? I am certain who the father is, but don't want to have any problems if I should decide to start a practice outside of the state of Ohio. My parents live about 12 hours away and ideally I will move there to be closer to them and have more support systems available. Should I put the father's name on the birth certificate? If I have to, I can move before the child is born. Please advise me. I don't want to be forced to stay in Ohio because of the father and am unclear as to how much say he will have in the child's life.

Thanks!

So you want the father to have as little say as possible......

easy answer........

NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVR NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER

ask him for a DIME!!!!


as soon as you ask for money, he will have rights, and he will get a lawyer, and it will cost you money money money

So just ask yourself how many men voluntarilly offer to pay child support, medical costs, and for college?

well not exactly right....... as soon as the child is born the father has rights, regardless of if he pays support....

ProfRN:
move do what you want. if the father doesnt know your pregnant he wont know any better.... if he does thats another story.....

if you dont put his name on the birth certificate then he will have to petition for paternity... and thats where "not many men do that" comes in.... but some do, depends on the man.......

Bloomy was correct to say that when you ask for money it will cost you money..... and may I add, lots of aggravation you may not want... but that all depends on if you want to send the child for visitation to another state to see his father and possibly another woman in his life later in life.. that sometimes becomes a troll in your life..... the decision is yours now, make a wise one, it will follow you the rest of the childs life..... (my opinion)......
but the way I see it, right now the child is a part of "YOU" do what you want to do....


good luck...
