The short answer is no. Unless there is some court ordered stipulation to the custody arrangements, why would you need to get his permission?

By full custody, do you mean sole legal and custodial? Of you do, you can probably go.

In North Carolina as long as there is no court order or other contractual agreement to the contrary, there is no reason you can not move out of state. However, doing so without at least giving the father some notice may paint you in a bad light if the father files a suit to modify custody.
