Unemployed co-parent getting a job offer out of state

I've been a co-parent sharing joint custody for almost 6 years. I lost my job late last year and have been looking for career-work ever since. Nothing local has come available. I've applied out of state and I've learned that I'm getting a job offer across the country and I'm terrified. I believe that, even though I would absolutely prefer to take the child with me, it is more likely to be in his best interests to stay here with his father. School, friends, etc. He's 11.​Does anybody have similar experiences? What happened with visitation? Relationship with the child(ren)? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2IIhf8I
