I received a call from my son’s school today, asking why he hadn’t been in class for the past week. Confused, I explained that he was supposed to be with his mother, my ex-wife, during that time. The school secretary then informed me that my ex had withdrawn both of our children from the school system a week ago.
Panicked, I immediately tried calling my ex, but she didn’t answer. After hours of frantic calls and texts, she finally responded with a single sentence: ‘We’ve moved to California.’ California! That’s over 2, 000 miles away! She didn’t even have the decency to discuss this with me beforehand.
Our custody agreement clearly states that neither of us can move the children out of state without the other’s consent. I’m devastated and feel completely helpless. What are my legal options? How can I get my children back? I’m scared I might never see my kids again.
