What is the right paperwork I need to file to take my son out of the state?

My husband and I are going to file for separation next month. He has agreed to let me take our son back to with me where we have family support but I need to make sure I have all the correct paperwork in line due to him threathening me and saying he might change his mind and take my son away from me.

Then you need to get a lawyer.  Please do not do this yourself.  Your written agreement as to property distribution, child support (which is generally statutory) and custody (which can be agreed to) HAS TO HAVE THIS WRITTEN IN IT.  Then that is submitted to a Judge for signature and it becomes part of the order.  If he is that volatile then you need to do things by the book.  Good luck.
