Hi,
I am assuming that you have either a court order or a separation agreement that defines your custody and visitation schedule. If your order/agreement talks about relocating with the child, and any kind of notice or permission of the court that needs to take place before moving, then you must comply with those terms. If there is nothing in your order/agreement that speaks to relocation, and you and your son’s father can agree on new terms, it would be a good idea to have an amendment to your agreement, or a modification of your court order, just to be on the safe side. You should consult with an attorney about the specifics of making those changes in the visitation and custody schedule.
