Re: Immigration with a child
Find a local lawyer on the Reunite International list https://www.reunite.org/lawyers-listings. Tell them you need to get permission to remove a child from the jurisdiction of the UK courts to live in the US. They can tell you what is involved and the cost. All the lawyers on their list know the requirements of the Child Abduction Act.

Re: Immigration with a child
I'm not really sure you need a court order as much as permission. A document between the two of you that says you are allowed to emigrate, signed and witnessed may be sufficient. This may save you considerable legal fees, though a formal court order may be more helpful down the road.
But I second the suggestion to contact legal advice (perhaps Reunite.org) for clarification. Not really sure on what is needed in the UK.
(FYI in some cases we've heard of people who were unable to even board the plane without some sort of permission letter or a court order).
