The answer has nothing to do with where you were married. You do not need to be in NY unless you are under a court order to the contrary, or unless you need to appear in court. New York Divorce Lawyer
Based upon the limited information that you provided, it appears your spouse may be referring to his right to see the children while the divorce action is pending. By moving from New York you may effectively prevent him from seeing his children. If this is the case, he may seek the court's assistance to protect his rights. I would strongly recommend that you consult with an attorney if you have not already done so. Please feel free to call me at (212) 786-7539 to schedule a free consultation.
