Unless there is a Court order granting him parenting rights you can move wherever you want.? He could, however, try to go to court and seek a temporary restraining order preventing you from leaving.

The question of your authority over your daughter is not a question of if you were married, but if a court has ever granted the father custodial or visitation rights. Pack up all of your legal papers regarding your daughter and take them to a family law attorney. They will review the information and tell you what exactly your rights are.
