It depends on your current parenting plan. If you don't have one and you were never married to the father, then you may move without the father's consent.

I would need to know if there is a court order awarded custody, is there an order regarding moving out of state. The fact that he is behind on child support has no bearing, in IL, on visitation; one is not related to the other.

In WA you must give notice and he has the right to object. If he objects, the court will then determine if you can move the children.

This would all depend on what your custody agreement says. A typical agreement says not more than 50 miles or not outside the county. Go over your custody order with your attorney.

Your ability to do so will be dependent upon the orders which are currently in effect. More than likely you'll have to seek the court's permission to move the children out of state.

Generally, no not without his consent or the consent of the court.

You don't necessarily need agreement from the father. You do, however, need the court's permission to remove the children from the jurisdiction.
