The custodial parent has the right to determine the residence of the child. If the custodial parent is moving more than 75 miles, she must comply with the requirements of the Relocation Statute (the terms of which are required to be set forth in the custody order. Also a 9 year old's preference is not likely to be considered by the court because she is too young. From you question I assume mother has sole custody, which means that unless the mother is moving more than 75 miles, there is probably not much you can do.
