Can I take my child out of state to live?

My ex-husband wants to take to me to court for our daughter to stay close to him not live with him. I'm wanting to move out of state, to be with my fiance and get married soon he provides insurance and financially he moved out when we first purchased a house and left me with 2 kids to raise on my own and remarried another women, just wandering if I can move with our daughter? Thank you.
