Since FileUtils.moveFile accepts two arguments -- source file and destination file, all you need to do is to use second arg: 

File myFile = new File("file");
File newLocation = new File("funky_file");
FileUtils.copyFile(myFile, newLocation);
myFile = newLocation;

You cannot retrive new location basing only on myFile without reassigning: File class is designed to be a immutable path rather that hard link to the file.
