Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut

If there's no court order in effect precluding your move, you can go. Be aware, however, that the Connecticut court will retain jurisdiction to decide where ther kids live (and with whom) for 6 months after you move. That's not to say that if push came to shove, the court would rule in her favor, it's just that it would be the Connecticut court (not, say, the Texas court if that's where you moved) that gets to make the call (for 6 months. After that, it's the court where you moved).

Until an action has been filed with the Connecticut Court, you can move out of the state. However once papers are filed, automatic orders are in place. Pursuant to the automatic orders, a party cannot permanently leave the state with the children without consent. Connecticut will remain the home state for the children for at least six months. Any litigation will have to take place in CT until you establish residency in another state.
