You need to file a petition to relocate if he won't agree. Otherwise he can hold up your move. If you have good reasons for the move and it won't interfere with his access then you have a better chance of getting the move approved. This is a complicated area of the law and you will do better if you have a lawyer. If you cannot afford one, you may qualify for free help in the Family Court. Good luck.
