More details to this question:
My ex and I went to court and were asked if we wanted documented joint custody or if we had established a verbal custody agreement(which we had), so we chose the verbal agreement. I can not afford to live in my town anymore, it is outrageously expensive. Can I legally move?

It's always best to get a written order from the court. Were you married to the father? The best way to do this would be to file a Request for Order to move away. You would serve the father and if he is agreeable, you or an attorney could prepare an agreement that is also filed in the court that would outline the new visitation schedule. The dad needs to be updated as to your new location and contact numbers.
