Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I'm a divorced father of a 5yr old girl. Her mother and I have joint legal custody but she has physical custody. We have been divorced approx. 4yrs and have a good working relationship. I see my daughter Wed. over night, Fri. over night, and every other weekend. My ex recently met someone and wants to move out of state (far) state unknown at this time. What can I do to stop from losing my daughter. Our entire family(both sides) live within a few miles of each other here. I have a great relationship with my daughter but ex states she will take me to court to get permission to move. My daughter currently lives 2 blocks away from me. What are my options? And please dont just tell me to hire a lawyer.

The law is that she can not leave without your consent or a court order. She has to petition to remove herself and the child
