Not without the court's or the other parents consent. You will not get the court's consent unless you can prove it is in the best interests of the child, not just your best interest.

I would have to look at the judgment, but generally when there is joint custody granted that would be incompatible with one parent moving a significant distance or out-of-state. If you do not have an attorney engage one now.

Not without permission from the court. Discuss this issue with an attorney to review factors that can influence how this is determined.

Refer to your parenting plan/final judgment. Generally, these documents include language on relocation with a minor child.

A parent can never move a child out of state without either the consent of the other parent or a court's order.
