If you care about your kids and what hapens to them you should already have a lawyer. The on e way you can about guarantee things will keep going badly is to continue not to retain counsel.
You didn't disclose who has legal custody. If you have joint legal custody, the court probably appointed one of you to be the tie-breaker if there were disagreements.
In any event, remember, a verbal agreement isn't worth the paper it is written on if it conflicts with a current court order. At this point, if she's moving out of state, there is a material change that will negatively influence the children. As a result, you should file for modification of child custody which will give you full legal custody with visitation to the mother. You don't necessarily have to act today. However, you are right to act before the school year starts.
