Are they radio-buttons of check-boxes? Do they have the same name but unique export values, or do they have unique names? If the latter, what's their export values, and what should happen if both are ticked?

OK, then as the custom calculation script of the first field use this:

event.target.display = (this.getField("Group1").valueAsString=="Choice1") ? display.visible : display.hidden;

 

And under the other two fields use this:

event.target.display = (this.getField("Group1").valueAsString=="Choice2") ? display.hidden : display.visible;

Ok so I gave this a try and it seems to be permanently hiding the destination field. 

also I want the entire field to disappear like the word destination and the fill-in text box to disappear. Is that possible?

Please share your file for further help.

If you want to hide the text next to the field you will need to place a (read-only) field on top of it, with a white fill color, and show it when you want the text to be hidden, and vice versa.
