You have two choice.. work with you ex and get it resolved without court.. or a call local attorney and pay him a nice retainer. Actually, you should be able to call a few local attornies and get these questions and more answered for free as they generally give free phone consultations.
However, when your discussions with you ex are breaking down, just think for a minute what you are doing.. you are taking his child and moving 2000 miles away. Visitation, although should be increased for longer stays, will be fewer and far between. Try and put yourself in that position, having your child taken so far away from you.. then hopefully you will understand his side a little better.

SMILE - Start Making It Livable for Everyone
Divorce is a process over which children have no control. Children should not be its victims.
When parents are under stress, it is harder to be in touch with their children's pain and anguish.
It takes time, effort, and planning on the part of the parents to be able to provide for the children's needs.
In the crisis of divorce, parents may put their children on hold while they attend to adult problems first.
Sometimes separating/divorced parents find that their roles and expectations are undefined and cloudy.
If handled properly, divorce need not be devastating for children.
