My husband has 2 children from a previous relationship and she has moved across the country. Please do not take your child away from their father! You may hate him, be upset with him...what ever the case (unless he's abusive, does drugs, or is harmful in anyway to the child). Your child deserves to see their father, and he deserves to see his child. If it were reversed would you want him to take the child and leave you, then sneek around and seek full custody?
