Check your divorce papers for any kind of stipulation concerning moving from the area. If there isn't any then you are most likely free to move about the country as you please.
My X did tie me to the area when we divorced. As soon as the youngest graduated HS I was out of there in about 3 months time.
I guess if you are totally unsure it can't hurt to get a legal opinion.
Wishing you much good fortune on your move! ~ swl
Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear. {Henry Wadsworth Longfellow}
