Is there a law in NY stating that I need a court order to move out of my boyfriend's house with our daughter?

If you have moved out of state you are subject to child abduction charges, a switch in custody and possible child support obligation. NYS does not take lightly moving a child out of its jurisdiction. If you feel a need to protect the child and yourself, I suggest you discuss your options with a NYS family lawyer. You may also need to secure a restraining order against the ex. I suggest you talk with my partner James DeFelice who does family law in NYC. His contact information is on his avvo profile.
