Were you married to the father when the child was born? Has paternity been established through a court? You may want to talk with an attorney before just moving or it can have serious consequences and the answer to your question is very fact specific. If you were not married when the child was born and paternity has not been established by a court then the answer is maybe. If either of those happened then the answer is no.

He may also file for paternity and custody as soon as you move. I recommend speaking with an attorney about all the facts in your case before making a decision.
