Do I need a court order to move out of state despite moving to a state my child’s daughter is in and without a custody arrangement of any kind?
My ex and I live in different states and only have a child support arrangement, not custody. I am moving with my current roommate to my husband’s state of residence next month and my ex is trying to stop because he plans to move back to the state that I am moving from in 6 months. If I can’t go with my roommate I will have no house, job, car or phone as he has been kind enough to support me and daughter despite my lack of job.

Absent a court order in place prohibiting you where you are the presumed custodial parent of your minor child from moving out of state with your child you can do so. However, I suggest that you retain a family law attorney to put your daughter's father on notice of the intended move.
