Are you talking about relocating, or just a vacation?

Generally, as long as there is no Court involvement, either parent can take the kids anywhere they want.

If she is attempting to move out of State, you should promptly pursue Court action as soon as possible.

If there is already a pending divorce case, she is not supposed to relocate more then 50 miles with the children.

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.

Contact me to schedule a no obligation office consultation.
