Asked on Jan 31st, 2014 on Child Custody - Illinois
More details to this question:
My sons father is out of parole in Illinois while the child and I are in Texas. (He had to go back to Illinois because of a charge in the past) His father says he doesn't want to pay child support and has threatened to take my child away from me. Does he have any rights to do so? Also he has a gun charge along with 5 felonies and 26 misd.

If the child is a resident of Texas, Texas law applies. He would have to litigate the case there unless you allow him to keep the child in Il for 6 months. So do not let him do that.
