Child Out Of Wedlock, Own Home Together, Mother Of Child And I Are Not Together But Live Together And I Want Out.

Card image cap

Location: Minnesota.

I have a child with my ex. Never married. We broke up 2+ years ago and have a house together. We've been living in the home together still as we co own it. I want to sell and move out she does sometimes. I want out of the house but to keep my parental rights as a parent to our child. She has claimed if I leave and move out it's child abandonment.

I live in Minnesota. When we were on similar pages and wanting to sell the house I made a comment about an apartment I was looking at in the cities then she no longer wanted to sell. My problems are if we don't sell the house we both get nothing. We've had the house for almost 5 years. I have moved on from her but still live in the house on separate floors as I want to be near my daughter and be a good dad to her.

What rights do I have to my child if I move out and can she claim sole guardianship of her and deny me access to her?

My child is more important then the house. The equity would be great but if I have to choose I want to be there for my child more.
