No relationship is more important than the relationship I have with my child. Besides, how do you explain leaving to them years later, when that child is a teen and asks, "Why did you leave me for so and so?"
Abandonment might be a big issue for this kid as a result you making this decision. I would seriously re-think the long-term consequences, because for me, it wouldn't even be an option.
Unless:
A) I'm not providing a healthy environment for the child, and they would be better off in a safer living situation.
B) The child was old enough, and was choosing to go live with a different parent or guardian.
