Does the child's father live in NY? If so, then you should seriously consider filing a petition to modify custody and relocate with the child. You have good reasons for your move and will need to show this to the Court. Be prepared to show that you are flexible and creative about ways that the child will still have access to see his/her dad. Good luck.
