It may be best for you to consult with an attorney about coming to some agreeent with your ex before you leave, especially since you are leaving your daughter behind. Many attorneys will tell you that it is unwise to do same because it can compromise any leverage you have in a divorce. By coming to an agreement before you leave it can reduce those issues. You will also have to discuss child support, etc. Good luck.
