In Ohio, once the other party has received the order of the Court, that party cannot disobey the court's orders without risking prosecution for or a finding of contempt of court upon motion. The answer to your specific question however depends upon what the court's initial orders stated. if the court did not impose a restriction on removing the children from the state, then there is nothing that prevents a parent from removing the children to another location.
