A: You, the parent, can move wherever you like as long as it does not change the child's school or the other parent's timesharing schedule. Otherwise you need to seek either agreement from the other parent or go to court. I am guessing from your question that you want to move and leave the child behind, which you can do. Relocation is a complex issue so I recommend that you speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
