I am afraid I am unclear as to what you mean by "joint" custody. There are different types of joint custody (residential/ legal). They mean very different things. There are other relevant factors which should be discussed with an attorney such as the child's age, your ability to maintain the parenting time arrangement, your reasons for relocation, whether the court has issued any orders in regards to the custody matter etc. I suggest getting in contact with a family law attorney who can be of further assistance. Please feel free to contact me should you want to discuss your matter in further detail.
Good Luck.

Since you refer to the other parent as your "ex," I presume that you are divorced.
You say that you have "joint custody" and that you have your daughter 2 days (presumably each week?)
In order to give you the best answer to your question, I would need much more information.
I would be happy to have a brief telephone call with you. There is no charge for that phone call. My firm’s toll-free telephone number is listed below.
