This is the second time my husband is doing this. We both lost our jobs and in an effort I managed to work my ties in PA to land a great opportunity. I was traveling back and forth trying to manage three kids, a house and focus toward interviews, presentations, etc. My husband agreed to move with me (finally) said he'd support me. House went up for sale, amended amendment from my first marriage was completed, storage unit was rented and all of a sudden he decided I was not coming home often enough, so he filed for divorce and took our 1yr. daughter in the middle of the night with a note stating he was keeping her until he advised with his attorney. Needless to say, he brought her back and when I was served it was noted that I was not allowed to take my daughter out of the state. So after weeks of expenses, time away from my kids, commitments I made to employers I had to just sit here. Now keep in mind neither of us have jobs, my family was helping us along with the expenses on a credit card ($6000) and now all of a sudden my husband has $3200 for a retainer fee? The situation went on for a few weeks and one night all bent out of shape he came over begging for forgiveness. I told him I'd try and work things out with him and again he said he'd support my decision to go, that we could go right now. Over this Thanksgiving holiday I drove my three children and puppy from GA - PA (19 hr. trip!) while he was on his "annual" golf trip for four days. He flew up to PA that Monday and when my sister asked him if she could take me out to give me some sort of a break, he went crazy. Said I was cheating on him and so on. I am now back to square one again, where I have accepted a job in PA and he is threatening to have another court order put on. This is ridiculous. Since the first one was dismissed, can I still legally leave with my baby? I can't afford an attorney right now, everything is in my name which I am about to loose and he hasn't given my any money since the first go around. What's happening here? What rights do I have ?
 
Neither parent has a right to take a child away from other parent. That is why he was granted that order. You might want to borrow some money and find an Attorney.
 
I spoke to an attorney that I liked tremendously. He made me feel better and said one thing on my side was that the courts typically do not like to separate siblings. However, in the meantime, my difficult spouse has changed his original "no fault" divorce filing to "fault" claiming I was cheating on him, as well as other accussations. My situation got better on Friday, when I found out I was pregnant. There is an interium period where we were going to try and reconcile. I also found out that I would not be able to come up with the retainer cost to obtain the attorney I wanted, so I'm back at square one. It really is an unfortunate situation, because he absolutely has none of my childrens best interest in mind. He is only out to ruin my reputation and hurt me anyway possible. Any other fiesable advise at this point? Thank you.
