I have a 2 month old daughter. I was never married to her father. He is not on the birth certificate. Nothing has gone to court yet, but he is suing me for full custody. I am a well fit mother, as I have never done any drugs, have an apartment, have a great job, and everything. The paternity test he requested is being done this week then I assume we will have a court date after. I was wanting to go to my hometown just for a weekend so my family can see my daughter. I know he will have a huge issue with it - as he has been very difficult through the process. My response to his full custody suit was 50/50 custody. I plan on telling him, of course. But I am wondering if I will need his permission or anything?
You do not say where your hometown is. Something has gone to court if there is an order for a DNA test. If there is a court order visitation schedule, you do not have the right to take his time away without a court order, unless he agrees to alternative time.
