I have been married for 3 yrs and have a 2 yr old. We fight constantly and last year I had an affair. He has proof of my affair through emails. He was on probation for felony DWI’s and has now paid that off with our tax return so he can drink again. He is a non-compliant diabetic and has periods of highs and lows where he is confused and disoriented (not a situation for a 2 yr old to have to deal with). I don’t leave her alone with him unless I absolutely have to and fear that if I do go through with custody that he will be granted time with her and he will have an episode when she is alone with him. He is drinking often now and I have suspisions that he is having an affair, but no proof. I want to move to Florida where my family is but am not sure that i can do that without the possibility of loosing my child. She is all I have and I want her to be safe, and safe is with me. What would happen if we just left and moved to Florida? Could they take her away from me? We live in NY.
