There are only two ways that the custodial parent can take a minor child out of state with out the intention to return: by agreement with the other parent or by court order. If you want to move and the other parent does not want to you can apply to the court but you should have a really good reason for moving (better job, family support, etc). And use an attorney. Good luck.
