CAN I MOVE OUT OF STATE WITH MY SON?

QUESTION: My ex and I never married, and there is nothing involving the courts. He does not financially support our 4 year old and picks him up for visitations 3 or 4 days month. He never calls or communicates with him. Now, I want to move to Colorado with my family so I can have the support and get a job. I now receive a death benefit from my deceased husband that was in the marine corps. And I also get medical for my son as well. After I informed him that I wanted to leave he said that I couldn't. Does he have a say? Can we get sent back?

MY RESPONSE: If you move to Colorado, do so before any case is filed. Once your son has lived in Colorado for 6 months, Colorado will be his "home state" for purposes of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
