More details to this question:
I was divorced in GA in October 2003. My ex-husband and I have joint custody with primary physical custody being granted to myself. I have remarried to a man in the military and we are considering orders overseas. Can I move overseas with my children or can my ex husband keep us from doing so?

Most divorce Agreements contain a provision about early notification if a custodial party is planning to move. If that provision is not contained therein, then you would not be 'required' to let him know that you are moving. However, it is good practice to advise of the move.
Also, it is important to make sure that your move would not place you in a contempt circumstance - such as if you were required to deliver the child to your ex-husband for visitation.
