Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
Can I Leave the state with my son? What can I file to get temp custody??
We're not separated yet, no proceedings yet. I want to go to my parents in South Carolina.
There has been no physical abuse, but unsafe circumstances exist in the house.
What can I file to get temporary custody of my son?
And if I leave, can he pursue kidnapping charges?

At this point, you and your husband have custody of your son by virtue of the marriage, so either one of you can leave the state with your child without the other's permission. In order to obtain custody, there would need to be a divorce.

You are free to take your son anywhere as long as you keep your husband apprised of where you are and how to contact you. The only way to get even temporary custody is to file for divorce and get a temporary hearing as soon as possible.
