Custodial parent wanting to move out of state

Caitlyn • Mommy of 2 + 1 on the way

My parents live in Missouri and me and my sons dad live in California as well as his parents. I go to school and work but I’m off every day at 2 and the days I go to school off at 4. His dad is as well. I have weekends off and we works the weekends he doesn’t have the baby. He works under the table and has his boss write him a 300 dollar check a week so he doesn’t have to pay me a lot In child support. I was with him for 4 years. I know how much he makes and how much he works. So we both basically make the same amount since he claims way less. So the thing is I have no family out here. My parents live in Missouri so I’m 20 years old, live on my own with no friends or family out here. His family bullies me and they all be little and treat me like crap and the baby is always around. His dad is an unfit parent in my eyes. Baby comes back with cuts, bruises and bumps all the time but since I have no proof I can’t do anything about it. He lied in court claiming baby has his own room which judge says he needs and he admitted to me in person he doesn’t. They both sleep in the living room of his moms house. Once again no proof so can’t do shit. The other day I went to give the baby to his mom. While I was putting the baby in the car I noticed the car seat was for a toddler not a baby. It was a straight back not rear faced what so ever. So I go back inside and investigate... turns out that is illegal and I had to let him know with screen shot of laws and pictures it wasn’t the right car seat. He responded baby is fine, don’t worry about him and leave him the f alone. So I called the police and they didn’t see the crime so they can’t do anything.... BASICALLY, I fear for my sons life with this man. He doesn’t get it. He’s immature and abusive to me in front of the child. I am lonely and I need emotional support from my family. I have no one and I have a dollar more paying job out there and a community college like I’m doing here available... I’m just afraid to actually go along with the move. I need to be educated if anyone can please help me. Give me info and tips.. stories .. anything. I’m desperate, lonely, hurt, and fear ever day he goes with his dad. I am the custodial parent but we have 50/50. Please help me win this case. I want out of California to give my son a better life with family who will protect him and care for his best interest unlike them....

I also want to point out I am giving the shortest version of this LONNNG story. He has done so much shit to me and my son it’s crazy the judge allows this.

We were also never married and the court order states I have to give a written notice and ask for permission but if he doesn’t give permission he take it to the judge. And I know that’s where we’ll end up because he didn’t come around for 5 months until I said I’m moving to Missouri to be closer to my parents. That very next day he filed.
