Only the Court can grant custody.

Retain a Massachusetts attorney to file a Complaint for Modification seeking to modify the order that presumably gave you physical custody to allow you to remove your daughter from the Commonwealth upon demonstrating to the court that it is in her best interest. Good Luck!
