I want to move out of state with my son but his father won't give permission because he wants to be difficult.what can i do.

If no legal action to establish parental rights in addition to the child support order has been commenced, that is what needs to be done. If the father has been functioning in good faith as a father, then a court will protect his right to continue to do so. On the other hand, if he has not and you have a good reason to move, your chances of securing that permission for the court is better. You would be best served by availing yourself of the advice and representation of an experienced family law practitioner. Best wishes for a favorable result, and please remember to designate a best answer.

As far as I know, a given family court with jurisdiction will examine any prospective issuance of the permission to relocate the child along with involvement and the roles of each parent under the standard of "the best interest of the child." If the father fulfills his responsibilities and complies with assigned duties the court will grant his wish to have the child in the state. It also seems that the argument "because he wants to be difficult" sounds like a self-serving unsubstantiated statement that does not create a convincing ground for a request to take the child out of the state.
