What are the chances of my ex-girlfriend taking my children away and changing their names?

Hi,
I live in Sacramento, CA. My ex-girlfriend and I just settled a child support case in court that decided how much I pay and time with my children. The children's mother has been trying all sources just to make me suffer. She often calls and leaves threatening messages that she'd take my children away and change their names so I cannot find them again.
My questions are:

Does she have the right to do that?
Should she do that, what law does she violate?
What should I do in that case?

She has done a lot of crazy things and this is something that she's not afraid to do. Please help because I don't know much about laws.

Thank you so much.

Dan

She does not have the right to take the children out of state without your premmision. You said there was child support ordered for you to pay did you also have a visitation in order? If so is it joint custody or does she have sole custody. You can do one of two things if there is no custody order though the court you can file for custody or joint custody, either way you have legal rights concerning the children, if there is a order then you need to file a motion to modifly the orignal order asking the judge to not allow her to move the kids out of state. But one thing you can be sure of and that is there is no legal way she can just change the kids name. Tell the judge what she is doing and if she calls record the conversation or have an answering machine where she can leave these threating messages to use it court.
