Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Im an Illinios mom with two kids from a previous marriage. I am wanting to move out of state to Colorado and my ex doesnt want me to move with the kids. But he has been gone for the past 5 years living in Arizona and has been back in Illinios for about 9 months. My husband now has been in Colorado since January 1 and has a job and i have a job waiting for me when I come out there. What do I need to know going into court for the judge to say i can move with the girls ect. Thanks, Illinios
