Re: my son
Yes, if you share joint legal custody of your son with the child's mother, she should've consulted you regarding this move and is now likely in violation of the custody order.
Your remedy is to go to the J&DR Court which hopefully issued the order and ask for a Rule to Show Cause against the mother. (However, if the matter is still within the jurisdiction of the circuit court which granted your divorce, the procedural route is more complicated and you should contact the lawyer who hopefully represented you in the divorce matter and who should be able to advise as to how you should now proceed.)
