Legal Question in Family Law in California

I have 100% physical and joint legal custody of my 2 children. My ex lives in NY and is planning on moving back to Ca in the future. I live in San Jose, Ca and am looking to move to Tracy since it is more affordable. Can my ex prevent me from moving? What rights do I have? What steps do I need to take? Do I have to contact the court to let them know I am planning on moving? If so what forms do I need to fill out?

If it won't affect custody or visitation, you don't need to do anything formal. Of course you do have to keep your ex informed on where the kids live, but that's it. You only need to do something with the courts if it will change the custody and visitation. When she moves back, she may request a change, or she may not, but it will be a change in circumstance that would allow her to request a new custody plan.
