If your former husband has visitation rights only and moves to another state where travel time for your children to visit him will be increased substantially, you have a right to be concerned. You cannot prevent your former husband from moving to another state.
However, you can possibly prevent excess travel by your children to the other state for your husband visitation rights in that such could impact their school studies, social life and the like.
You should consider having your former husband come to where your children live for his visitation with them. He can rent a motel room while visiting his children under the presumed existing child custody and visitation order.
Good luck.
