Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Divorce and taking child out of state

I am planning on filing for a divorce within a yr and I have a 6 yr old son that is a product of my marriage. I want to move to another state and be 100% compliable with visitation rights between my son and his father. Am I legally allowed to move to another state and take my child with me as long as I comply with the visitation that is agreed upon. Thank you!
