The first thing here is that you and he were not married. He has not "legitimated" his children from the sound of this, but look at the paperwork you term "paternity form." Does it state that he is the "legal father" or words to that effect?
If no court papers have been filed, there is nothing keeping you from moving. Most courts have a "Standing Order" that requires keeping the children within the jurisdiction of the court. Without that, you are free to go wherever you wish. Are you getting support from him? Will you be able to continue to get support if you move? All things to consider.
