Ex moving out of state

My 14 year old son was told not to tell me of his father moving. I figured it out on my own and my son confirmed it. I have been keeping an eye on the clerk of courts web page and have found that an intent to relocate had been filed. Written on the form is the dat of Feb 15 with the intended move date of March 15 but it is stamped by the courts as being filed Feb 24. I do know that the move has already begun and I have yet to be formally notified of the move. It is to my understanding that my son will still be going to Elder and his father is moving to Indiana. According to map quest it is a 40 min commute to Elder but only 19 mins from my home. We currently have a shared parenting order(originally I had full custody but was taken to court to change it without legal representation). First, can my ex-husband proceed with the move without me being notified or the courts approving it? Second, I am considering filing a motion to restore full custody to me, do I have reasonable reason to pursue?

Re: Ex moving out of state

You must file and serve a motion immediately objecting to the move, and present reasons why relocating the child out of state is not in his best interests. Relocation, by itself, may not be enough to change custody.
