Re: Mother
The father is required to give you and the court at least 30 days notice of his intent to move; that gives you time to ask the court to change custody of the child or change the visitation arrangements to make it possible for you to maintain a relationship with the child.
Re: Mother
You would be able to move for modification of custody/visitation based upon the move, provided that you could establish that it was in the best interest of the child. I would advise that you consult an attorney for more assistance in this area which is frequently litigated and dependant upon your particular facts/circumstances.
