I live in the state of Nevada and want to know how to obtain custody of my daughter and the right to move her out of state to California.Her father and I were not married but lived together for 5 years.I don't want a messy court battle.Her father has been violent with me on several occasions but I have no documentation of it.Am I just stuck..is it necessary for me to obtain his permission to move out of state. And where do I file for custody and child support?
you do not want to be stuck, but you are, i highly suggest you consult with a good local lawyer regarding that.
Good Luck

You need to go to court to file for child support and sole custody. If he has been violent with you tell the court. Next time he says boo call the cops and start getting documented. You are not stuck. In fact as the child's mother you already have the right to take the child where ever youwant.
If I were you I would be quiet about it and make my plans to move and then when I was ready I would just take the child and go. There is no reason that you cannot and you are not married to the child's father. He can petition for custody rights if he wants but you will already have made the move while it is perfectly legal for you to go where you want. If you get into a custody thing before you move you may have to stay local. Now you are the parent and you can do as you please so get going. I hope you have already at least moved out from living with this abusive man

An unwed mother automatically has custody of the child unless a judge has deemed her unfit ( abuse, neglect, child services being involved). You can go anywhere you want to with your child.
Your local child support agency is where you file for support.

My answer to single fathers about their rights should help.
AS A REMINDER TO ALL SINGLE MEN SHACKING UP WITH A WOMAN. UNLESS YOU LIVE IN ARIZONA OR CALIFORNIA, YOU HAVE
NO (English/Spanish/Italian);
N-O;
NEE (Dutch);
لا (Arabic);
He (Bulgarian);
いいえ (Japanese);
ASSUMED RIGHTS TO, OR SAY ABOUT, ANY CHILD BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK. ONLY THE COURTS CAN GRANT YOU ANY RIGHTS.
I REPEAT, SINGLE FATHERS IN 97% OF THE U.S. AND ITS TERRITORIES HAVE NO RIGHTS. YOU ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE, BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS UNTIL YOU ARE GRANTED THEM. SINGLE MEN MAKE THESELVES INTO A SLAVE CLASS THAT MUST ASK PERMISSION OF THEIR SLAVE OWNER (THE MOTHER) OR HER LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE (THE COURTS) FOR PERMISSION TO SEE YOUR CHILD. AND EVEN THAN, 60% OF THE TIME, ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT STUDIES, YOU WILL BE DENIED ACCESS TO YOUR CHILD, LOSING ALL CONTACT WITHIN FIVE YEARS.
YOU SOLD YOURSELF INTO SLAVERY THE MOMENT YOU TOOK YOUR PECKER OUT OF YOUR PANTS WITH A WOMAN YOU WERE NOT MARRIED TO.
