Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
I had a child over 3 years ago with a man that I never married. We have never put anything in writing with respect to custody or time sharing. I have been the main one caring and financially supporting my child, what rights does he have after all this time to prevent me from moving out of state if any?

You probably have a moral obligation to try to consult with the other parent, assuming they have been involved in the child's life in some way.
Assuming there is no court order of any kind concerning custody, support, and visitation of the child, you are probably legally entitled to move without his permission.
Consider what is best for the child, and best of luck!
