My 17 year old daugther is pregnant, she said she knows who the father is however, he is 16, has dropped out of high school in the 9th grade, been in & out of juvie & is addicted to meth. She is no longer seeing him but he knows she is pregnant & she still stays in contact with him electronically. I know he has no rights while she is pregnant & we have decided to list the father as unknown on the birth certificate because we don't want the child exposed to a father like that
I have recently retired & will be able to support my daughter & grandchild without the fathers support...we don't want or need his support. Since I have retired I would like to move out of california & take my daughter with me. However, I don't know the laws on relocating my daughter after she has the baby or if we should relocate before the baby is born. I need to know if we leave california before the baby is born would he need to come to that state (tenessee) to try & battle possible custody (after a dna test) or if we wait and she has the baby in california then we move will we have to come back to california for the courts? She has a great ob doctor & I would love to leave after the baby is born...and after this semester in high school...but would leave sooner if it would make our life easier in the long run.
Thank you!
