Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I am active duty army. I am going to marry my fiance in about four months. She has children from a previous marriage. We are on orders to Korea and he is trying to stop us from making the military move overseas? Can he stop us from doing that. I understand i will need to get military legal to help me but as a hypothetical can he stop us from moving if we were not making a military move?

You're probably talking about a situation where the custody order has a geographic limitation on where the children can live.

He can't "stop" anything except to the extent that (a) you may need his cooperation to get passports for the children or (b) he may file motions with the court AFTER the move. There is no "geographic restriction police" who will be sitting at the airport with guns drawn.
