What are the laws about what? You refer to the people as he and she, so I gather you aren't either party in the case. But they both need lawyers.
If the spouses are currently going through a divorce, there are standing orders that prohibit moving, selling assets, etc. without court approval. Therefore, file a petition with the court to obtain permission to move. Include in your petition the reason for the move.
Of course, it is better to retain an attorney for a divorce. If you cannot afford an attorney, you might be able to qualify for a pro bono attorney.
