In currently pregnant and due to give birth any day now. I'd like to move abroad to work in France within the next 5 years, so when my DC is 5ish. My relationship with the father has broken down in the last 2/3 months. We were together for 6 years. He has shown little/no interest in the baby for the last month or so and has made threats to make our lives hell. I no longer want to give my DD his surname and his name probably won't be on the birth certificate. I know the fathers name can't go on it unless they turn up to register the child's name and knowing him, he won't bother.
So if I do manage to secure a job in France, does he have any right to stop me taking my DD?
