Custody & visitation

I am going through a mess myself, i know this wont be an answer you pick but look at your original court orders , if it says you are to have them a certain amount of days etc like you say, i know you can file a petition that says she is violating the orginal court order. Not sure what happens after that because my violation papers are still pending.

If there are papers you can take it back to court. Do you pay child support through the FSR or directly to her?

First off i would like to say that $600 is a lot to pay in chld support and for you to have to work out of town to be able to afford child support is crazy. currently i am fight with my husbands x thru my investagation i have learned a lot.
moving the kids to a different county depending on the state you live in she can only move the kids so many miles away without consent from you with reasonable cause to up root the kids from family, other parent, school, and friends, that they are acustome to (unless job or fincial reasons). if you can prove that it was to keep the kids away from you by moving that is one strike against her. second of all if you have a specific periods of physical ordered by the court which is specific time and or days this encludes holidays than she is in contempt of court and you can go down to the court house in the county where the court order is from and file an motion to enforce physical placement. In this order you can request additoinal peroids of physical placement to replace those that were denied, finding the other party in contempt of court (could face jail time and huge fines) court cost and attoney fee (if you dont want to do the leg work yourself). along with that motion i would also file a stipulation and order to change child support. what this will allow ( i am unsure of the date your origianl papers were filed but between i am assuming that they were before 2000 and 2003) is for you to have finacial records between you and your x and with the amount of time you spend with the kids get deducted off what you owe in child support because the law changed and you are eligable to use the child support shared-placement calculation (you can google shared-placement calculator and figure out your child support payment from there what it should be and if it is lower than what you are paying now she will have to pay you back for what you over spent.) Good Luck getting your kids back

Well first you need to contact the authourities and tell them what"s going on, she does not have any right to move to far away from you. Also what do your legal arrangement papers say?

It's real unfair to you as a father and to them as your children. Hope you get all your answers.

I do not think that taking them out of the county is illegal,had it been the state it would of been different. However there is something that you can do about your ex not letting you see the children. Do you have joint custody or does she have sole custody? also it depends on what the court order states in regards to your visits. would file a motion and ask that you get joint custody if you don't have it now and I would state the reason you are asking to modifly the orignal order is because she is not allowing you to see your kids. The court does not take lightly to parents that keep the children from one and another. Good luck
