Asked on Mar 31st, 2017 on Child Custody - Illinois
More details to this question:
My son's father and I live together, but are not married. It's not a happy relationship and we need to leave, but he (my son's daddy) won't give me permission to take my son out of state, and says that it's kidnapping if I do, that in court he could prove me an unfit mother, but I’m the main caretaker of our baby who is happy and very healthy. I need to know if I can move away with our son without the father's written permission and how a custody battle works in court.

Only if there has ever been a case filed involving the three of you are your movements limited. If there has never been a case filed, you are free to go.If there has been a case filed, you will need court approval.
