Can I legally move my daughter so she lives with me?

Hi all,
Basically, I split up with DD's dad early last year and moved out of the family home due to abuse. I was pressured into leaving my DD with her nan by my ex and his family. He soon moved his new girlfriend in to our flat and I have since found out that he is leaving our DD with his girlfriend for hours on end while he is at work and not asking me if I could have her. I am uneasy about this as I hardly know her and nor does he,really.

There is no formal arrangement between the two of us. She is with her nan to carry on her education. I live in the next county over and I want her to come and live with me. I am the only parent on the birth certificate and have been told that I have full parental responsibility and only I can make decisions about my daughter,including moving her out of school,as told to me by social services before christmas. But today, they went back on this and said I would need to get legal advice.

Has anyone been in a similar position? My personal situation is very complex so the above is not the whole picture,its just a brief outline.

Thanks
