You don't have to do anything. Unless your settlement agreement or court order says otherwise, your ex is forbidden from moving your son more than 50 miles from his curent home without your permission or a court order.
Re: moving child out of state
Your ex would be required to file a written Notice of Intent to Relocate prior to moving your son out of your area. If he files that, you need to then file a written Objection to Relocation to stop the move. If you fail to answer his Notice of Intent to Relocate, the court may allow him to move due to your lack of objection.
