Without knowing what harm you have suffered or what relief you want, a lawyer cannot tell you what lawsuit you could, or could not, bring. What is it you want to accomplish with the lawsuit? Maybe repost with more facts?
Me and my ex have 50/50 custody of our son. We have a signed and notarized agreement stating our son will stay with me during the school year, and will visit his dad during school breaks.

So much of this would depend on what the agreement says and also how the judge would react. That also depends on how far away the move is -- Arizona is a big state.
