It depends on several factors including whether the parents are married, divorced or unmarried and whether there are any outstanding court orders regarding custody and visitation. Some points to consider:

  • If the parents are married both parents have equal parental rights.
  • If the parents are unmarried and there are no court orders regarding paternity the father has no legal rights until he has established paternity through the court. He can then request custody or visitations. In this case the mother must consent to the father having legal physical custody which she can do without giving up her parental rights.
  • If there are any existing custody and visitation orders those must be modified by the court in order for the father to have legal custody.
  • The parties should seek the help of an attorney who specializes in custody issues who can review the situation and explain the options.

You were never married never been to court and have shared custody of your child. Can the mother of your child move to another state without your permission?

Yes. An unmarried mother has sole custody of her child until the father establishes his paternity legally and then petitions for custodial rights. Once the father has established his parental rights legally, the mother cannot move to another state without his consent and/or the court's permission since the move would mean the father's visitation rights would be affected.Yes.
