Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

My daughter is 14 and lives in New York with her mother. We have joint custody, but I only get her on school breaks and for the summer. She doesn't like her school out there and wants to move to Illinois with me. Will I have to go through court proceedings in New York to get her to move to Illinois or can I do that in Illinois?
