The father of your child cannot stop you from moving out of state even if he is on the birth certificate. Did the child's father go to court to have his paternity recognized and visitation established? If he did you likely will have to notify the court of your intent to move. If he did not go to court as indicated, likely you can just leave the state. But you should visit with a family law attorney to verify your rights and obligations.
