Do Ihave to get my son’s mom’s permission to move out of state if we are togetherbut not divorced?
We are living together’ no divorce papers have been filed. There is no parenting plan in place. And circumstances have made me look at moving my son and I would be locating back to where my family lives.

You can not leave the state with your son with out your wife's permission or a court order. You will need to file for temporary custody and ask the court to allow you to move. It must be very difficult time but you have to understand that courts do not like to hamper the access to a child that a parent deserves. Good luck.
