What does the order state about notifying him about your impending move? In most orders, there is a notice requirement when one parent wants to move out of state. Also, if you intend to move out of state, you would have to modify custody to change the joint legal custody provision.
Furthermore, you can always file a contempt petition for his failure to work You may be able to argue the unemployed provision related to involuntary unemployment, not intentional unemployment. In other words, there is a good faith assumption.
You should return to your original attorney for these new court matters.
