More details to this question:
My daughter's father and I have a custody agreement, joint legal with him having sole physical. He moved out of the state we both lived in and left our daughter with me. A couple of months afterward I also moved out of state and her father decided to let her stay with his parents in the state to finish out school. What happens to our agreement when neither one of us are still in the state the agreement was made in?

The state in which the children reside will typically assume jurisdiction. If neither of you are living with the children, then whoever has the children should be petitioning the court to be appointed legal guardians of them. It doesn't sound like a very smart system that both of you have created.
