You are free to live wherever you want. You are NOT restricted to living anywhere.

Your child is restricted. Therefore, your ex might be able to get custody of the child if you decide to move. Why should your child be uprooted because you chose to re-marry and move away from everything your child has known. Why should your child move away from his father?

Before you get married and move away, you better talk to an experienced family law attorney. Don't assume that you will automatically be able to take the child and move away.
