You have full legal custody of your daughter, but does your daughter's father have any court-ordered parenting time? Normally, a judgment concerning child custody also determines the amount and timing of parenting time for the non-custodial parent (along with child support and some other issues). If your daughter's father has court-ordered parenting time, there is probably a provision in the judgment that requires you to give the non-custodial parent either 45 or 60 days? notice of your intent to move more than 60 miles further away or out of state with the child. In addition, even if your daughter's father is only getting informal parenting time, a sudden, unannounced move out state would probably subject you to sanctions and possibly loss of custody. You should consult with a local attorney and bring the existing judgment with you to that meeting.
