I would immediately take your current court orders and talk to an experienced family law attorney in your county.

Just because you are getting married does not mean that you will be able to move away with the minor child. You are free to live anywhere you want to live. Only the child's residency is restricted!

The other parent can ask the court to keep the child in the county. If the judge agrees, then custody would switch to the other parent. Then you would get to pay child support & visit with your child!

You need to talk to an experienced family law attorney in your county NOW!
