Please consult your lawyer for legal advice. Ask if there are rules for moving and use them to your advantage.
She must give you her new address, and moving to another state can affect custody. Since her personal life is unstable, you might get primary custody with some visitation rights for her.
Check your custody agreement for moving rules. Both parents usually must inform each other and the court about address changes. Good job contacting your lawyer.
If she’s moving more than an hour away, you need to change the custody agreement. Since you have final decision authority, you have an advantage. Push your lawyer to focus on this.
I’m not a lawyer, but you should have the right to know all addresses where your child lives when not with you.
Not sure about your area, but she probably has to give you the new address. If she doesn’t, the court can make her do so.
Ask for full custody because she’s not a stable parent for your daughter.
Do a background check on the new husband.
Maybe she thinks you can arrange drop-offs. Do you think she will give up custody? Maybe you can update the agreement if she’s moving because she’s very involved emotionally.

But you can support your child and get them help if needed.

I understand what you’re trying to say, but it came across as harsh. It’s important to consider all sides. Having a broken home is tough, but it’s better to seek support and not judge harshly.

I think you’re right. Kids from broken homes have different needs and experiences.
@Uma
I’m sharing my experience. Broken families affect kids deeply. It’s a hard truth, but important to acknowledge.
You could ask the court to check if the new husband has a criminal record since he didn’t give his last name.
Did you remind her of your custody rights?
I feel for you and your daughter. If you have a custody plan through court, she can’t just take your daughter without consequences. It might quickly change in your favor if she tries to ignore the agreement.
Talk to your ex. Ask her how she plans to keep your custody agreement while moving.
