A: The simple answer is if there is no Order in place, either of you could move. However, be aware that you could not file for divorce or a custody in that other state until you have resided there for at least 6 months and at least 90 days within the same county, due to the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) which limits state jurisdiction over child custody to only one, avoiding competing orders..
