My husband and I moved in with his parents in Oklahoma at the end of January this year (2004). Before we were married they ordered him to have me give our baby up for adoption or they would disown him. They also "kept him" from paying child support after she was born. We got married and lived in Pa. until just this past January when we moved to Ok. to live with them. Needless to say I could'nt take anymore and left. Because I have no family to help me out and didn't think that it would be good for our daughter to put her in the closest shelter with me which was in Texas, we agreed that she would stay with him till I got on my feet. It's August now and he's saying that I abandoned her and that she has to stay with him. I would prefer that she live with me and he have her in the summer and whatever major holidays that he wants. He's refusing. I sent him a certified letter begging him to come here to Fl. where I'm living and work here but he keeps saying that I abandoned her and he plans to stay near his parents because if he leaves again they'll disown him.
I plan to go to Oklahoma and try to reason with him in a couple of days and I was wondering what my legal rights are. I've read the stuff on here and at deltabravo.com and everything else I can get my hands on but nothing seems to pertain to my situation. He has no ph one at his house and I just now got his address. Until then I was at his mercy as far as contact with my daughter. I'd appreciate any input.

Keep in mind, he has HIS daughter as well. You cannot leave a child with someone while you "get it together", and then expect them to give the child back when you are ready. You mention that he paid you no child support. How much child support have you paid him?

I know this is a rather old thread, but why cant she be allowed to leave her daughter with the father for a lil bit, so she could get herself together to make a proper home for her? I dont see anything wrong with it. I would have never had to do this myself, because I have a strong support system with my family and friends. BUT, for those who dont, well, I would think ANY judge would see this as responsible and good of the Mother to have done. She didnt abandon this little girl, she wanted to increase her quality of living. Again, as always, just my two cents. Blessings, Sue

Walks out of the house one day, lives away from them for 6 months or so, and then shows up at the door one day, does he get the same treatment? Nope, HE is "abandoning" his family.
