I am separated, not divorced as of yet. My spouse is planning on moving out of state. Is there anything I can do to stop her?

If a spouse wants to leave the state, there is generally nothing to prevent them from leaving the state. The question that is more difficult to answer is, "Can they leave the state with the minor child?" If you file for divorce, most counties have what is called a "standing" order, or one that is issued in every divorce action. I am not familiar with your county, but if it is like most, the order prevents either spouse from leaving the jurisdiction of the court with the minor child. If your county has a similar standing order, the divorce filing is merely a temporary measure. In most instances, you have to win primary physical custody in order prevent the minor child from leaving the state. If you have primary physical custody, the spouse cannot take the minor child from the state.
