Since the father filed for custody and visitations, the only way she will be able to relocate would be with a court order. There are certain circumstances under which such order may be granted.

She should file a petition for relocation. He may be willing to let her relocate in exchange for her not seeking child support from him. She may want to obtain a lawyer to help her with these petitions.
