You might want to work out a new visitation agreement. You don't necessarily have to file an OSC. Just get a stipulation signed by both of you and file it with the court.

It is important to get a written agreement with the other parent before allowing your children to leave the state. If your current orders do not address the issue you need to update them. If you can not get the other parent to agree then you will need to go to court, mediation, and get an updated order. Please contact the office if you would like to discuss the issue in more detail.

If I understand your statement the 2 children are with you most of the time. Therefore mother would be the one with the right to visitation. You should attempt to work out a visitation schedule with mom. If she is not willing to cooperate you can ask the court for a order changing the visitation schedule.
