My wife and I are divorcing - real common now a days. We have not not filed yet, because she said she can do it for free since she qualifies for legal aid ($300/week). I do not qualify ($700/week). We still live in the same house right now. We have 3 children together, ages 4-12.

Anyways, I have seen in my computers history that she has been looking at apartmets for rent in Jacksonville, Florida where her best friend lives. She has told me that she plans on going to Florida in the middle of July for a week vacation.

Can I stop this? Or, if she did move south, is there anything I can do after the fact? What if she moved there before we filed for divorce or separation?

Any help in this area would be appreciated. I cannot afford a lawyer, so I am trying to steer this towards mediation.
