You do not mention if an action has been filed with the court. If there are no court actions pending and no custody or visitation orders were ever granted, you can relocate out of state and there is nothing the child's father can do about it. If an action is pending and/or orders were made, you need to file an Order to Show Cause to move away with the child. Good Luck.
