When I wrote about How Do I Get Out Of My Noncompete Agreement?, AOL Jobs readers came to me with lots of questions. Last week I answered whether your noncompete is enforceable if you're fired without cause. This week, I answer:

Is My Noncompete Enforceable If I Move Out Of State?

This question may be too far-reaching for you to answer out of hand, but my question is this, I have a noncompete agreement with a company that is subject to the governing law of the State of Ohio. What if I should move out of Ohio and take a position with a company that is also out of the State of Ohio, is the agreement still valid?
