That's quite difficult. Being a child under custody myself, it kind of depends on what the child wants, from my experience. I've always been asked questions about what I want to do. Most likely you'll have to take your opposition to a family court and argue, or persuade them, as to why you would be the better person to take care of them. It always helps if the child(ren) are on your side. :)

File a motion with the courts in the county in which you live to determine custody. You will probably need an attorney or mediator to help you put together a custody agreement. Both parents will need to agree to all the terms of the agreement and then you are both bound to the agreement unless you choose to amend it.


Can a parent with sole custody move out of that state it was issued in?

You should be able to, but every custody agreement is different. It should specifically state in your custody papers from the court if it is allowed. In the absence of an existing agreement that depends on whether the other parent has visitation rights. If so, you cannot remove the child without court approval.

Father of a child who does not have primary custody only joint is taking the child to NC for a vacation on his weekend he refused the primary parent any information agreement was made in CT legal?

Read your custody agreement. Everything that governs, or limits, the 'right' of the non-custodial parent during his visitation should be set forth in the custody agreement. If it isn't set forth in the custody agreement then there is no limitation on him. It is, I agree, pretty callous to just take the child off out of state and not give you any contact information. If the custody agreement limits what he can do and where he can go with the child, you could take him back to court asking for the court to find him in contempt of the order, and possibly request further limitations on his visitation.
