I am a single mother of a 2 year old Her father pretty much has nothing to do with her and his name is not on her birth certificate. I want to move to another state soon and I would like to know if it is legal for me to just move?

Were you ever married to the father and has parentage and custody/visitation ever been determined?  If you were never married and the above was not done then you are the only legal guardian of your daughter.  You can move.  Good luck.
