If she is planning on leaving that soon, you need to consult with an attorney and file a legal action immediately to prevent her from doing so. It is much easier to keep her here than it is to bring her back.

Are you the legal father? If paternity has not been legally established and a parenting plan been put into place by the court, she can leave as you are not the legal father until both of those things have been completed. If you want to be in your child's life, then you need to become the legal father.

So go to court and stop her. If you file the case and get her served, there will be temporary orders in place preventing her from taking the child. Of course, be prepared to take full custody of the child if she really wants to leave.

Absent a restraining order from the court she can leave.? If the parents are unmarried and no custody order has been made, Ohio law provides that the mother is the sole custodian. She make take the child as she desires. If the parties are married, Ohio law provides that both parents have equal rights to the child, and absent a Court order to the contrary she may also leave.

You can go to court and file for custody at least joint custody right away.
