Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa
I reside in Iowa with my 2 children, I have been seperated from their father for 10 years. We have never gotten a legal divorce yet and I am moving to Texas. A year ago I informed him that we were going and he agreed to it as long as the children want to go. I am now leaving in 3 weeks to move there and he told our daughter he would have me arrested for kidnapping if I left with them, can he do that?? We never had any legal papers drawn up or anything, he only verbally agreed to let me have custody during the school year and he would have them every summer. I need help.

It's possible there could be a parental abduction issue there.
The problem is, now you have to deal with what comes with not taking care of business ten years ago. I suggest you hire an attorney as soon as possible.
