If I’m legally separated from my husband and we have temporary custody set by a court at 50/50, is it posible for me to move out of state?
How would I go about doing this? I have the chance to live with a friend cost free for 3 months in order to help determine if I really want to move. I would want to leave him with his dad so he is safe during that time but I also fear leaving him would make me look bad or cause me to loose custody.

Given the current status of your marriage and your desire to move out of state, you personally can do so. However, taking your minor child with you will require a court order to do so. I suggest that if you truly wish to move out of state and have your husband be given full custody of your minor child on a temporary basis that you retain a family law attorney to draw up a written agreement on such terms.
Your desire to move out of state should not be deemed a penalty where you could losse custody of your child. Rather, the economy has been a challenge and perhaps the move will allow yourself to better your financial condition workwise.
