Legal Question in Family Law in California

My husband wants a divorce and has been trying to force me to leave our house. He had an affair and is starting to see someone again. We have 2 girls, ages 6 and 4. He wants me to only live in our current community, which is in a very rural community and 50mi. round trip from my emloyment and family.\

Can I move out with our daughters closer to my support systems? Do I have to stay within the county? Do I have to go and file for immediate custody if I do this?
