What do you need to do if you have sole custody and want to move out of state?

If you have sole legal and physical custody then you inform the other parent that you are moving and make whatever arrangements are necessary.
If custody is still an issue and the other parent does not agree with the move, you may need to petition the court in a custody hearing.
Added: The question fails to disclose if the non-custodial parent has visitation rights. If the other parent has rights of visitation, you may not deprive that parent of their right to see the child by imposing unusual, harsh, or onerous travel requirements to deprive that parent of their right to see the child.
Then there is also the possibility that the court will not allow the the child to be removed from the jurisdiction of the court.
Of course, if the non-custodial parent states that they are okay with the move, the entire problem may be moot.
