More details to this question:
He moved 30 minutes away from where I live, with his new girlfriend whom now has a child on the way. I'd like to move to a smaller, cheaper town, away from all of the drugs and closer to college for me.

It depends on where you live now. The statute says: 750 ilcs 5/601 (1) a change of residence from the child's current primary residence located in the county of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, or Will to a new residence within this State that is more than 25 miles from the child's current residence, as measured by an Internet mapping service; (2) a change of residence from the child's current primary residence located in a county not listed in paragraph (1) to a new residence within this State that is more than 50 miles from the child's current primary residence, as measured by an Internet mapping service; or (3) a change of residence from the child's current.
