I agree that you need to file a Petition to Dis-establish Paternity against your husband, and then a Petition to Establish Paternity for your child's father.

Before leaving your county, you MUST contact your Diversion officer to determine if leaving the area is permissible. It is often acceptable or Diversion participants to complete the specified terms and conditions from another city or state, but any move must be discussed with the supervising officer first.
If you were adjudicated guilty of the offense then you are not eligible to have your record sealed.
Your husband should speak with an attorney about filing a Motion to Reinstate Bond on the first charge. It is ultimately up to the Judge in his case as to whether or not the bond will be reinstated.
