You probably need some good, sound legal advice. He cannot just "take her away from you" without good cause. Don't give him any ammo and if you're not doing anything wrong, don;t worry needlessly. Best of luck to you!

Is this separation temporary? If it appears that you two won't be getting back together, you need to talk to a divorce lawyer. Each state has different rules and regulations and a lawyer from your area will know what to do. You will also need to decide whether you two can share custody or if you want to go after sole custody. Good luck!

It's probably just the anger talking. Don't take any chances contact a divorce lawyer immediately.

When I was going through my divorce, my lawyer (Robert Stites Firm), told me that men say that solely to hurt the mother. In actuality, unless you harm your child, you will keep your child at home with you and he will get visitation.
Texas standard says that the dad will see the kids on 1st, 3rd, and 5th weekends, maybe one evening per week. You will alternate Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, and a lot of things like that.

He is saying that to hurt you....don't give him that power!! Stay strong!!

God Bless.

I know this is late but I agree with the others to get an attorney ASAP. If he decides to take the child even for a visit then does not return him or her there is nothing you can do until the court decides who has custody. I don't want to scare you but this happened to a friend. The husband took the child then left him with a relative to keep him away from the mother and there was nothing she could do until the courts decided who had custody. That took several months. By law both parents have a legal right to the child until that happens. I am sorry for al your trouble I hope all works out well for the both of you and the child.
