This depends on the state. I know in CA, NV, TX, UT for a fact (and most other states are the same way). You can NOT take a child out of state regardless if you have full custody or not. I have always had full custody of my daughter and her father was not in her life. I still could not move out of state without written consent by him or a judge's order. Although, it is VERY simple to get an order to move out of state. You only hav eto prove that it is in the child's best interest, which is simple to do. Make sure you are not doing this to spite the other parent. Let me know if you need more information. Good Luck.

Sometimes a parent may have primary physical custody but the other parent may have legal custody, meaning one parent shall have the right and the responsibility to make the decisions relating to the health, education, and welfare of a child." This parent can make all decisions without seeking in put from the other parent.
Can joint custody be in different states?
A custody order can only be granted by one court usually in the state where the child presently resides. Judges are very reluctant to grant joint custody when the parents live in separate states. The usual procedure is for one parent to be granted primary physical custody and both parents sharing joint legal custody. The parent not having primary custody would be responsible for making his or her travel arrangements and living accomodations (or that of the child depending on the age) during visitation unless there is a different agreement made with the primary custodial parent.
