Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Have loint legal custody of daughter, we have sold house. Ex wife wants to move 2 hrs north to move in with home vs living 25 minutes away living in mothers second home. Daughter wants both parents involved or within a reasonable distance. Her moving two hrs north would obviously make imp[ossible to see during the week. Weekends would be far a few because of activities or friends daughter may have or the parents may have. Daughter had recommeneded to Ex-wife the living at seconf home that way she could stay in the HS she wants when at either parents visiting, She accepted the idea at first than 4 days later told daughter she will move with her and no discusion on issue. I have supported the living close idea that way both parents are within a resonable local to be involved with the daughter and have offered to pay for her HS years. ex-wife says she is moving 2 hrs north so she doesn't have top do the drive to work as far. The recommendation that daughter gave reduces ex's driving three days a week and lives with ex 5 days week and me 2 days. That would enable her to go to the HS, see both parents.
Can she just move that distance away since we have joint legal custody, she is primary residential parents.
What are my rights to prevent this move that is in my mind obvious to cut me out. Daughter requested me also to help fight this decision that ex has made.
