there is nothing in the custody order that says i cannot, but we do have joint custody (he only sees her 1-2 times/week). i live in nj. i would be moving in with my mother and close to my brother and sister in law.

Since your custody order does not indicate you have to advise if you move, "I" would ask and have it in writing JUST IN CASE. Additionally, I hope you and your ex have a good relationship. I would sit down and talk to him and let him know that you need the support of your family at this time while trying to raise your child. "Ask" if he has any objections - but only after you present your detailed and significant side. Joint custody means that you need to be within a reasonable travel distance. I have known situations where one parent lived in California, and the other in New York and they have to work out how each is going to 'pay' for the transportation. That can get tricky. If you're only an hour away, you should be able to work this out. Communication between the parents and both of you providing love and support for your child should overrule any 'personal' issues you may have between you. Good luck.

No, you cannot move out of state (even if it's just 1.5 hours away) without getting an approval --- meaning notarized letter from the baby's biological father. A court order maybe also required.

If you have joint custody - this is not a good idea - in fact it is probably against the law. You must inform your ex - but your best bet is to check with a lawyer, otherwise you may be charged with kidnapping.

Yeah if that's what you have to do. Hopefully, you guys can work something out to where you can meet in the middle of the1.5 hour trip so he can be with his kid. That's what my child's dad and I do. He lives in Trenton and I live in Philly. He meets me in North East Philly and he takes her for the weekend or whatever. It works out well for us. So that might be a thought for you.

Call the court system where your case was handled, they will have the right information for you. I believe it should be stated, if it prevents him from having easy access to see her.

It depends on the jurisdiction and the parameters of your custody agreement.

I would call the courts and find out. Are you willing to travel? You cant expect him to come to you all the time-he wont.
