Re: taking the kids out of state

That is absolutely not true.
He can not file for custody because he has no standing
until/when he ever legally establishes his paternal rights to
the children.

As I said: Since they were never married AND if he has never
legally established his paternal rights to the children under
the laws of his state: They are her children and she can take
her children wherever she wants, whenever she wants and he has
NO SAY SO whatsoever about it. If he wants a say so, then he
needs a court order saying he's daddy. Until then, he doesn't
have any children to seek custody of.
