Legal Question in Family Law in California

My friend is planning on moving out of state. She has a child out of wedlock and is not in contact with the father I believe. She hasn't gone to the court to establish custody or potential child support. Can she even move without taking care of that stuff first?

Yes. If there are no existing custody orders or pending custody proceedings, she is free to go where she likes with the child within the U.S. If paternity has been established, she may have trouble with international travel without the father's consent or a court order.
