Absent a court order in place precluding relocation of the minor child without the consent of the court you can do what you desire to do without fear that the biological father of your child can force you to return to the state that you are leaving. To be on the safe side, I suggest that you retain a family law attorney to write the other parent of your intent to relocate.
