Move your child where? Out of state, within the state, to another home within the same town? Circumstances may vary depending on state law and the provisions outlined in the original custody order, but generally, you cannot move if it presents a hardship to the other parent in maintaining their visitation or other rights without the other parent's consent and/or approval of the court.
When asking for legal advice, it's very helpful to post as much detail as possible, including the state where the child currently legally resides.

Not necessarily. In most cases, the marital residence should be sold as part of the divorce would be equalization of assets and debts. If the residence can easily be kept, then parents should try to amicably work out a shared custody arrangement so the children have equal time with both parents if possible. This means that one residence does need to be deemed the primary, which is what would be on school forms, doctors etc, but that does not change the custody arrangement.
