Re: custody
If your decree does not restrict the child's residence, then it doesn't. It is accepted public policy that parents do not move away, in order to foster a continuous relationship with both parents. Since the child's dad is in jail, that does not seem to the issue.
Re: custody
If your decree does not contain a domicile restiction, and based on your description yours does not, then you are free to move anywhere you want, plain and simple.
