You should immediately file a request to change custody based on his move to another county. Since you have joint custody, he may not change the residence or school of your children without your consent. Contact a family law attorney in your area right away so that you can prevent their father from moving the children's schools.

You may also be entitled to attorney fees and sanctions for this unilateral conduct if it is in violation of existing parenting orders.
