I currently live in San Diego, California. My ex-husband is living in Michigan attending medical school. He is in school through the Navy and it is not guaranteed that once finished he will be stationed in California. California is the state where we resided and filed for divorce. The problem is that I am completely destitute and as of December 10th I will be homeless. I have two children ages 8 and 9. One has special needs but all of his needs will be able to be met in Utah. I need to move to Utah because that is where my family is and I could live free of charge and get my debts paid off and become stable again. I had told my ex previously that I did not want to leave California. His family is here and he likes that they help with sitting and such but they cannot help me with money and they cannot give me a home. I know that my ex will be very unhappy about my decision to move to Utah, as he has control issues. I need to know if he has a right to fight me on the move being as he lives in Michigan. In our court paperwork we agreed on joint custody and I obviously have physical custody. We filed in San Diego and it states children's place of residence as such. Can I move?? I have no other options and I just will not live with ex-in-laws, which is something I'm sure he will insist on.
