Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri
Is it legal for me to take my daughter out of state if we do not have a parenting plan or any custody established? Her father is on the birth certificate but was in prison for the last 5 years but just returned home in jan.2012. I will be moving from missouri to colorado but dont want to leave my daughter behind. Can i get in trouble for taking her without his consent?

Since you do not have a formal custody or support Order in place, you will probably be okay by sending the father written notice of your intention to move 60 days before you move Keep a photocopy of what you send, for your files, as you may have to get child support some day. With written notice, he will have a harder time contesting an Order to pay support to Colorado, based upon your move. If you are moving in less than 60 days, send him notice as soon as posible.
Good luck
