Is there some particular reason he can't leave the state? Is he on probation? If moving means tearing a child away from their father and there's circumstances where he's not allowed to leave the state, then my suggestion would be try to find a area you like in your home state. You'll be doing the right thing, plus you won't need to hire an attorney to fight off one angry papa, but maybe that's something you can afford to do. Your at a tipping point right now, things can either escalate, or things can cool off, settle down, and relax. The choice is yours.
