1 Lawyer Answer

A: Until a lawyer gets to know ALL of the facts of your situation, it is next to impossible to answer your question responsibly. Offhand, however, and based on the scant info you provided, I would say your chances are slim. You don't get an automatic right to move with your new husband. The answer is even more difficult to answer because we don't know what county your are in, or what judge you will have. Some counties are stricter than others when it coms to removal. Try to negotiate a deal with you ex. Consult in person with a divorce lawyer in your county.
