A: You can file a petition in Family Court for sole legal custody and the right to relocate with your son. You will need to show that it is in your son's best interest to relocate with you. The fact that your son's father only sees him once a year, is very favorable to the relocation. There are many factors, including how old your son is, how far you want to move, etc.
