Re: wanting to move out of state without any custody order

You have the right to move. However, your best approach is to contact father, preferably in writing, notifying him of your intent to move, where you intend to move to, when you anticipate leaving, and propose a visitation schedule for father. This procedure will put you in the best light possible with the court if you have to go to court to get an order allowing you to move.
