Child Custody And Safety

Summary

In California, without a custody order, both parents generally have equal rights to the child. However, taking your child without notifying the other parent can complicate future custody proceedings. Consider seeking a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) for protection and consult a family law attorney to discuss your options. Contact local domestic violence shelters for support and resources. Prioritize your safety and that of your child.

He does not engage with my son, we have no friends, and are stuck all day in a double wide manufactured home. when I told him the relationship is over. He threatened be and said you are not leaving. I am becoming increasingly depressed and my baby who no social interaction with other children because I can't afford preshool. We live near Atascadero State prison so is not kid friendly. I have to get out before 3 years old when he can remember the mental abuse.
