filing for divorce and husband wants to move after divorce. we have 1 child and live in ut would it be better if he moved before

It doesn't really matter, as you can address the move in the divorce now, prior to his move. But, where is your attorne in all of this? Not having an attorney is a big mistake in a custody dispute. There are preferences for "joint custody" which may not be best in your case. As such, you need to prepare to vigorously assert your custody claims and concerns to do what truly is in the child's best interests.   You need to get with an aggressive family law attorney who has experience with divorce, custody and difficult cases. I know what these cases are like, having handled a number.   You need to get moving ... as in today, to hire an attorney and handle this matter correctly from the outset. Or, you can try doing it yourself, and bumble through. Of the two options, which choice is best for your children, and your rights with those children?   Depending on your schedule, I could probably meet with you some time this week to discuss your situation. If you are interested in pursuing the matter further, I offer an initial 1/4 hour consultation without charge, and a 1/2 hour consultation for $50. If you want to set an appointment for the initial consultation, feel free to telephone, my office.
 Don't wait any longer, give a call and let's getting working to protect your child.
