Family and relationships question:

My ex husband and I have 50/50 shared residency of our 8 yr old son but I am the main carer in many important regards (including having him 55% of the time). My son and I wish to move from Wales to England in about a year but I anticipate resistance from my ex-husband, who is in a relationship up here in Wales. I would like to keep things as amicable and fair as possible and want to give him a year's notice, but is there anything he can do within that year to stop me (e.g. prohibitive steps order, or something else) or else to seriously complicate things (such as marrying his partner, buying a house with her and/or having a child between them). If there is anything he can do that might prevent the move, is there any way I can legally protect (in advance) my attempt to move? Or am I worrying too much - am I, in fact, well within my rights to move if I feel the move would be beneficial to our child? If it makes any difference, I'm not planning to move somewhere silly - the move would result in my ex-husband being closer to his family and to permanent work in his field.
