Re: divorced and wanting to move
It sounds like you have a residency restriction in your decree. If this is the case and you want to remove it so that you can move with the kids, then you will need to file a motion to modify. The court will apply a "best interests of the children" standard. In reality, there are too many issues involvled in this to address here and you will need to discuss them with an attorney. If you are in my area, call me to discuss further.

Re: divorced and wanting to move
Certainly, you can move anytime you get ready. But, I'm sure you want the children to go with you. That would depend upon what is in the best interest of the children. There are too many issues to discuss in this reply. You should discuss these issues with a lawyer in your area who could tell you how much this might cost.
