My ex husband moved from Illinois to Arkansas before our divorce was over and currently resides there permanently. I have full custody of my son. Can I now move out of state as well without having to get a court order?

Not if he objects .

Careful. We don't want to learn from this.

The CP has to always ask court permission for relocation, regardless of the actions of the NCP. After all, if you move even further away, it would make it harder for the NCP to see the child. If you were planning on moving to the same state as the NCP I doubt it would be a problem, or another state that lessens the difference.

In my state, it ain't exactly "permission."
Rather notifcation of intent. Other parent has a right to challenge/object. The parenting plan might get adjusted any old way, up to and including custody switch.
But YOU can move, sure. The question dealt with in court is where do the kids go (and other related details like schedule and cost).

I just don't get that. He is the one that moved out of the state. Why should I have to stay?

No matter where I live we have to fly my son to and from. Why does it matter where that is? It's probably the same distance if not shorter anyway. It isn't changing anything accept the name of the airport he goes to. Plus it would acutally be easier. Right now I live 1.5 hours from the airport. I'd be moving closer to an airport.

Moving can change jurisdiction for a start. Not that this is a reason to not do it, but it does change things.
Now if as you say, it really changes nothing-or in fact eases your situation, then you shouldn't face a problem. Put in your notice of intention to move, and if the ex objects you go to your hearing with the evidence that you have showing that things will be better. In such a case, the judge is unlikely to refuse.
If the ex has family in town though that might be a reason for him to try and object. Not saying it would win but he might try.
