No, he can move but you will still need to file a modification with the court and get a court order changing custody.
Re: Chid - Divorce
he can move out. However, you should get a court order for two reasons that come to mind. One, is that the father could change his mind, especially if you decide to claim your son on your taxes. Secondly, there needs to be an order that modifies child support. You can not change child support without a court order and not run the risk of being held in contempt of court or having a tax intercept done. You should contact an attorney locally who can explain these concerns in more detail than this forum allows for me to do.
