It depends upon what your judgment says and what your custody arrangements are. Often, the judgment will address the issue of one parents moving (e.g., whether consent or a court order is needed, etc.). Also, if you have joint legal custody and/or joint physical custody, moving without your permission is harder to do and probably requires a court order.

Talk to a lawyer. You need a court order to prevent her from moving with him.
