Re: moving on but stuck

Unless there is a court order or a filing of an action involving custody of the minor child, you can leave the state without his permission. If there is an action for protection from domestic abuse, divorce, seperate support, or custody, you need permission of the father of the child or a judge to remove the child from Massachusetts.
