I am assuming that since you are divorced, there is an order dictating custody and visitation. You need to file in court to protest the move. She will have to convince the judge that the benefits of moving across the country outweigh the detriment to the child caused by losing regular and consistent contact with his father. Her husband having a career opportunity is usually not a good enough reason. He married her knowing that she had a child, and that the child has a good, ongoing relationship with his father. You cannot stop her from moving, but you may be able to stop her from moving with your son. If the court allows her to move with your son, it is reasonable for you to request that she be held responsible for all travel costs in order you and your son to continue that relationship. She is the one that is voluntarily trying to dirupt your relationship with your son.
