If there is a custody order in place, you have to follow that or you are in violation of the order. If there is no order, technically you can move with your daughter, but that could cause problems. The best course is to get a custody order before you move. This can take awhile, so I would recommend filing as soon as possible. The new state would not have jurisdiction over the child until she has lived there for 6 months, so if the mother is unhappy with the move, she can file for custody here and you would have to participate in the case here. So, it is best to get it worked out pre-move. An attorney may be able to help you speed things up if there are exceptional circumstances for a quick decision.
