My ex wife wants to move to Texas from here in California with my kids ( ages 6 & 7 ). Can she just take them with out my permission? We have joint custody.

Re: child custody
Can she physically take them, yes she could. She may violate court orders and lose custody. She should receive permission from you or from the court to move the children. I recently taught an attorney's seminar on the right of a parent to change the residence of the child. There are many factors which a judge would consider in making the decision. You should take your current court order to a family law attorney. If you fax me a copy of your current custody order at 6195898577 and call me at 6195898533 I can give you a better opinion. I charge $75 for a consultation. Pat McCrary
