You must comply with the Relocation Statute by sending Dad the letter with all of the info the statute requires. Then, Dad can object and take the matter to court where the judge will decide. In many cases the judge will allow the relocation with the child especially if you can make some adjustments in the existing parenting plan to be sure that Dad gets significant and meaningful time with the child. Good luck.
