If you have legal custody and there is nothing in the child support agreement you should be able to. But check your state laws first.
ALso it may depend why you are moving. If it is for a job you probably won't have an issue. If it is for a change of scenery then good luck.

That depends on whether who has custody of the child. If you have full custody I believe you can move anywhere you want. However, if he has joint I am sure there are laws about you up and moving. Just a tip. If you are trying to get away from your ex moving might not necessarily work. I have a friend who's ex wife moved clear across the country and took the child(husband job transfer is what she said was the reason, but not really the case). Anyway, my friend decided that he couldn't be that far away from his son and moved to the exact town his ex did. He is fighting again in courts for custody and to stop her from moving again. Things are better between his ex and himself and he gets to see his son alot. However, I am sure his legal bills are insane. Also remember, if your child has a good relationship with your ex it is not fair to the child or your ex to move extremely far away so that they won't be able to spend time together.

If your Ex has been paying child support and seeing the child regularly then he can go to court to stop the move, you would have to prove that he has not been a part of the child's life and the move is both beneficial to you and the support of the child. and if the move is for your new spouse say your new husband has a job offer in another state then chances are your Ex will be able to stop the move, but only by going to court and having judge grant a order of stay. as an Ex paying child support he has rights.

depends if you have full custody, shared parenting....or what ever your divorce decree states. I moved out of state and there wasn't anything he could do about it....But, I did have to pay for the trips back and forth and even his plane tickets to escort them( at the time they were ages 9 and 6) to and from state to state. It was so rough on our family emotionally, we eventually moved back. Good luck!
If you have no legal ties to him, protect yourself and let the state of which you are leaving know of your current address in the new state... It is called a letter of intent to move to another state.......he could possibly file something that you have kidnapped the kids....even though that isn't the case.

If your child has a decent relationship with his/her father, and the father is a good parent, I do not think it is in your child's best interests to move out of state, regardless of the legalities of it, why would you interfere with your child's relationship with his/her father? What gives you that right?

If your ex is paying support and has visitation then you have to go through the courts to legally move your children out of state without your ex's permission.
BTW, I would get that permission in writing and notarized.
be cool...

The court would have to agree to it. If he is a good parent, then you are not being fair to him and he should not be responsible for paying child support for a child he never sees.
If he is a bad parent it is different. You are also taking your child away from their home. Not good.

Check with your attorney and find out the conditions of your divorce settlement. You should know this already though I have to ask why you would want to deny your ex proximity and rights to the child.

No you cant unless agreed in court. Most states have a law that pertains to any divorce case, unless agreed in court you would be in deep and hot water if you do. Just visit with your attorney to try to set something up ect.

Depends on state and custody laws. But generally no.
