Typically, custody orders require court approval before a child's domicile (legal residence) can be unilaterally moved to a different state.

Sorry bout the lack of info. State of Georgia.Quoting IAAL
There is nothing in the divorce decree that states that she cannot move out of state or out of the country. It indicates that we have to work together to insure that visitation takes place and that the children have access to both parents. I may not have a leg to stand on because she sounds like she's willing to send them to me any holiday and any free time they have. The divorce decree DOES however state that she has to inform me in writing 30 days prior to her moving anywhere and provide me with detailed contact information, IN WRITING. What if she doesn't do that? She stated that her target move date is the end of August. I don't trust her. She's manipulative.
There are several things you can do.
1. File to modify the visitation and child support orders making you the PC and her NCP with visitation in her home in Oakwood GA and that she be responsible for the cost of any transportation. Schedule TBA.
2. Change child support orders.
3. Contact the passport division of the US State Department and flag their names to prevent passport issuance, have the court collect their passports if they have them already, don't sign to issue new passports.
4. Petition the court to deny permission to move.
Ok
I convinced my ex wife that it would be better for the kids to stay with me for the school year, we split the holidays, and they visit her in the Caymans for the summer. Since my first post, I've gotten the complete story from her.
My ex wife met a guy in a jewelry store in the Caymans. He had her try on some jewelry and they exchanged contact info. She left. That was the extent of their contact in the Caymans. The next week he proposed to her over the phone, came to visit her in Atlanta GA, and she had him sleep in her house. Week three, he left for Miami and she informed me that she's marrying him. I convinced her to let the kids stay here with me for school and visit her in the Caymans in the summer and split the holidays. June 18th she leaves in a rush to meet this guy in Miami. Allegedly in two weeks they are going to the Caymans. I did searches on this guy [Name Removed] and his company [Name Removed] based on info from a couple of magazines he gave her in which his company has ads. Those magazines are dated 1985 and 1990. It's 2006. There are other Jewelers with ads in these magazines. The rest of these jewelers have info that's easily found on the web. Neither [Name Removed] nor [Name Removed] can be found anywhere on the web accept on an Indian Importer website that allows companies to post their contact info for exporting goods or services. I found that his company has an address in Miaimi that's only been in operation for 3 years, not since 1967 as specified in his magazine ads. Nothing on this guy checks out. It's pretty obvious that he's bogus. I don't know what his agenda with her is, but I need to file a Custody Case ASAP to prevent her from changing her mind, coming back and taking the kids to the Caymans. I've sent Atlanta Legal Aid society an e-mail requesting help, but my job doesn't exactly put me at the poverty level, despite the fact that the $900 a month I pay her takes a serious bite out of my money. I need to get custody of my kids and the child support order overturned ASAP. Do any of you know ANYONE who can help me??

whoaa,,,hold up there big boy......let's think this through....it sounds to me as though you and your ex-wife have an amicable relationship (you noted all the discussions) so I don't think her stealing the children is a real threat -
You also mention that he is "loaded" and then ask for her to provide you with child support because you have no money....does that make one wonder what your real motives are?
I have also done a quick search on the mentioned person, and from what I can see he is an extremely reputable businessman having done business in the Cayman Islands for over a quarter of a century...maybe you should try looking again...
You'll probably have more success in increasing your monthly income by not becoming an extortionist.....there are a lot more reputable professions to get involved in.....
