Do I have to have my ex’s permission or the courts permission to move with my children approximately 30 miles away?
I have full physical custody and share joint legal custody with my ex. Our divorce was filed in February and is final next mpnth. I have been seeing a guy for 3 months and we just found out that I’m pregnant. We would like to move in with eachother. We were told we didn’t even have to tell my ex or the court that im pregnant since it does not pertain to the divorce.

Unless there is a standing order requiring you to give notice to your "ex" about your impending move within the presumed same county where you reside, you are not required to get the court's permission to move. However, from a practial matter, it would be wise to give your "ex" notice in writing of the intended move.
