She certainly would have grounds to seek a modification of the order to allow a move away. Whether it would be successful or not depends on way too many factors to get into on an internet Q&A service. She should talk to a local Family Law attorney.
I would agree with Mr. McCormick. In a move-away request, better to file as soon as possible as the courts will usually order psychological testing. A big factor will also be the degree of the father's involvement with her other children. It is highly suggested in move-away cases to have legal counsel.
