I think you need to establish visitation before you move. Why make him do it. He can file visitation in Fl now before you leave. It would be in the childs best interests to establish visitation before you leave. Geez....why do parents NOT put the child first and involve the father and the mother in thier lives before taking off with the child?stadek said:What is the name of your state? Florida
If I move out of state and the father wants visitations do I have to come back to Florida or does he have to file where the child and I are at?
Ok since you have put it that way, it seems you are willing to try to work with him, and you are encouraging him to see his child, and you are willing to pay for everything so he can see his child. Then I would do exactly that. He may contest it, but you are not STUCK there. You are doing the right thing, and keep doing that. You sound like a very responsible person, and you seem to have a good head. I would establish evrything first, then move. He cannot make the final decision about you moving, but the courts can. It may become difficult for you, but keep your head up high, put the child first, and no matter how bad the father tries to discourage you, dont let him. ALWAYS show him that you are willing to work with him, and that you intend on letting him see his child. But dont move too far away.stadek said:So can I file a petition to leave and file a visitation for him or does he have to file for visitation himself? I want to do everything that I can and make sure I've done what's right before I move. Because I don't want any problems. What do I do if he is unwilling to let me move? I told him I would pay for EVERYTHING in order for him to see his child. Transportation wise.
