If my spouse is custodial parent, but we still have joint custody, does she have the right to move and take my child with her? She is talking about moving within the state, but it will be 2 to 5 hours from we currently live.

She can move, however If the move will make your visitation impracticable or impossible she will be in contempt of the order, further, it could be grounds to modify the current order.
