It all depends on what you want to do. In Georgia, a father who is not married to the mother does not have rights to the child until he legitimates the child. Therefore, you don't have to consult with the birth father before moving.
Additionally, if you plan to move to Tennessee before taking any action for child support, you should consult with an attorney who is licensed in Tennessee once you settle in that state.
