The answer depends on the details which haven't been included here.
This is a complicated situation and you haven't explained whether the mother is incarcerated. If so the father may have to provide a safe temporary home for the child while he files a petition for an emergency temporary custody order until the full hearing can be scheduled. If the father is available, in the child's life and has not been deemed an unfit parent then he can petition for a modification of the custody order and request permanent custody.
If anyone wants to object they can express their objections to the court and file their own petition for guardianship. The court will hear testimony and review evidence and render a decision. If no one comes forward the child will likely be placed in foster care.

I get the feeling either this father is in prison or is not safe to be alone with your child. If you have sole custody of your child then you can move anywhere without the father's permission as long as it's not stated in the custody order that the father has that one hour visitation right twice per month. However, if it's working out where the father and child have a bond, then it's best to see a lawyer and try to work something out.
