Re: children leaving the state
Yes, both parents still have full authority over the children. For "child custody" Washington would still be the appropriate jurisdiction for 6 months. If you wait longer than that the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act or Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act would support the new residential state as the appropriate location for determining matters relating to the children.
