I am a single mother to a 17 month old. His father and I
were never married. I live in California, father lives in
Utah (we had a long distance relationship). Our
relationship ended during my pregnancy. We talk almost
every day (re: child) but visits our son two days at a
time once every 2-3 months. He wealthy and can visit as
often as he wants, but doesn't come often, therefore
currently they have no bond or established relationship. I
want him to be in my son's life and in an effort to do so
I've taken my son to Utah twice so far to visit his
father. He is starting to say that I don't take his son to
see him often enough (which is difficult to do at his age)
and because of this, I am keeping his son away from him. I
tell him he can visit anytime he wants. If he takes me to
court to get custody, what kind of custody arrangement is
likely for out of state parents? Would they take into
consideration that he's been absent for most of his life
or will they just start making the baby go to utah with
people he is not familiar with?
