If there are no court orders at all, not even for CS, you have the legal right to move. However, at the same time your son's father also has the right to file in court to either prevent you from moving his son, or a court order for you to return his son. It will take 6 months to establish legal residency in TN, during that time if the father files in a NY court, NY will have jurisdiction and can order you to return your son to NY.

The best way to move is to file in NY to establish custody/CS, etc and get the court's permission to move.
