Dear Inquirer:

Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client relationship, unless a written retainer agreement is executed by the attorney and client. This communication contains general information only. Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client communication nor legal advice. There likely are deadlines and time-limits associated with your case; you should contact an attorney of your choice for legal advice specific to your personal situation, at once.

If you haven't already done so, please visit my

The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

When you file and serve a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, automatic temporary restraining orders (ATROs) go into effect. One of these prevents either party from removing minor children from the state. The other option is to file ex-parte for even more restrictive orders. Contact an experienced Family Law attorney in your county for specific advise and possible representation on your behalf.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.

Reply:.What can I do?

You will need a court order to prevent him from removing the children from the area. If you file for divorce or legal separation, you get automatic temporary restraining orders when you file, which prevent both of you from taking the children out of the state.

Good luck to you!
