If I want to move 2 1/2 hours away and am willing to meet in the middle for child tranfer, what are my rights since I have full custody?

I can’t afford to live where I am right now.

Assuming you have full custody of your child you seemingly have the right to move to where you wish to even if such a move is more than two (2) hours travel time from where the other parent resides provided that the move is within the same state.

To be on the safe side, I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney about the pending move and have him or her write the other parent as to the intent in order to ferret any possible problems that he or she may have as to the intended move.
