I am so sorry that your situation is as it is. The general rule here is that you can not take your child out of state with out the consent of your spouse or it can be considered kidnapping. This does ot include a pleasure trip. That has attached an intent to return. You yourself here state that you want to move away. That would not look good for you in a custody battle. Get legal help. Good luck.
