If you have joint custody then she has no rights to these children. I suggest you tell her to fly them here to you or face abduction charges.
I assume that you have joint custody with your ex, but the kids live most of the time with "Dad".
If "Dad" hasn't made arrangments to get the kids, I would pursue a Petition For Modification, with an Emergency Motion For Temporary Relief.
When is she intending to move?
If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Dunedin, with a satellite location in Tampa.
Feel free to Google me.
