I've been reading the responses to both of your posts and I have to say that I really feel bad for you. You're in a pretty rough situation here. I understand you desire to move away since it doesn't sound like you have a place here to live. When we get in a bind it's generally our parents that we run to and yours can't legally help you in the way you need. If you continue to stay with them they could lose their home and the benefits that they are receiving. You have one child under 1 and another on the way so it's a stressful time.
The answer to your question though is yes. You can pack up and move your kids anywhere you'd like right now. Dad has no custody orders so ya, if you feel you can provide a better life for your kids somewhere else then go. As soon as you hit the 6 month mark at that location you need to refile your child support case in the new state. Keep in mind, your ex could absolutely fight for his rights. This will could cost him some money so only you know him well enough to know if he'll turn this into a battle. Based on what you've shared with us however, I don't think he's interested in his children and the likely hood that he would get custody is probably a stretch.
And as far as your other post about getting support from him, I doubt you'll see a dime since he has other children he supports and doesn't seem to be able to hold a steady above the line job. If he doesn't have it, you're not going to get it. You're going to have to do what so many other mothers do, pull up the bootstraps and work two jobs or as many as it takes to support yourself and your children. It's not easy but it's absolutely possible.
