Legal Question in Family Law in California

my ex and I have joint custody of our son. I am planning on moving to Texas (from California) for a better job opportunity. All our agreement states is that "If either parent moves over 100 miles away he would get full summers and full spring break." it does not state that I need his permission or anything. can I move without him stopping me?

Regardless of what the order states you should get his consent to moving the child out of the state. While it may not be a violation of the court order he could probably go into court and get an order for you to return the child to California while the court makes a decision. It can take 6 - 9 months for the court to make a decision so you should file quickly and you should have an attorney.
