Legal Question in Family Law in California
My girlfriend & I have 2 children. She moved to Nevada in May, 2009 and I was told I could not stop her because I wasn't paying child support set up by the courts.
6 weeks ago she gave temporary guardianship to her grandmother, who lives in Calif. (where they are happy and thriving & the 5 year old just started kindergarten)
What do I need to do to keep my ex girlfriend from taking the children back to Nevada when she decides she can financially and emotionally take care of them.
Thank you,

Whomever told you that you could not stop a move-away because you were in arrears on support was wrong, though by going in to court you would have had to "face the music" with the judge about the past-due support too.
If you got a custody and visitation order along with the support order (should have) then you probably want to review it and ask the court to modify it to reflect the present situation, including a provision against moving the children out of state without further court order.
If you don't have a custody and visitation order, you need one, asap.
