What's the deal about the status quo??? My husband left us (6 month old) when we were moving out of our first house...we stayed with a mutual friend for 2 weeks but stayed away from each other. He would dissapear at times and barely saw her even then. Then,baby and I moved into new house which he refused to do just to be difficult. My name on loan, us on deed...community property state. He doesn't pay for squat and doesn't see her EVER. Is there a chance I could get his rights taken away? The only thing he's god for a big fat negative attitude. I could only hope your answer would be yes!!
