Generally no. In order to move out of state the other party needs the permission to move. If the permission is not given they can file a Petition for Relocation which will require a formal court determination.

Hello:

I would add to the other responses:

First, no one can give a definite answer without knowing more facts. Such as, was there a Paternity or Dissolution of Marriage Final Judgment? If there has never been any Judgment, she may be able to do what she wants.

If there is a judgment, she must file a Motion with the Court and you both will attend ahearing. You can put on evidence why she should not be able to take the children away. There is a Statute that sets out the criteria for the Court to follow.

If my office can help, please give us a call. Tom Rosenblum
